Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds announce best of compilation
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 7 March 2017
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds will release a best of compilation, titled ‘Lovely Creatures: The Best Of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds 1984-2014’, on 5 May. Cave and bandmate Mick Harvey together set about the task of distilling the band’s first fifteen albums into one 21 track collection.
“There are some people out there who just don’t know where to start with The Bad Seeds”, says Cave. “Others know the catalogue better than I do! This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That’s a lot of songs”.
“The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason”, he continues. “Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out. And there are those that didn’t make it, poor things. They are the ones you must discover by yourselves”.
