Album Notes & Community Reviews

Influenced by his Grinderman side project, Nick Cave delivers a raucous, garage-rock inspired album. 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!' is lyrically playful and musically loose, driven by organs and dirty guitars. It re-imagines the biblical story of Lazarus in 1970s New York City.

Genres

Descriptors: literary, biblical, uncompromising, storytelling, guitar-driven
