Pitchfork

The title track from "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!", the new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album due March 3rd in the UK and April 4th in the U.S., continues the vigor heard last year from Grinderman. The music is a bouncy, bluesy squall led by an organ riff that sounds lifted from something on Chess Records. Above the beat looms Cave, talking his way through the story with characteristic intensity. "Well I don't know what it is, but there's definitely something going on upstairs," he sings on the turnaround, and damn if he isn't right. Click on the album's title on the right edge of the screen to hear the tune.
