Calaf is dressed in a short-fitting gold and brown outfit, its length intended to contrast with...
...Lazarus, Dig!!!” stands as the mark of an explosive and brilliant new incarnation of the Bad Seeds.The title track opens the album, plunging forward with a grating guitar crunch and the dull moan of church organs. The Bad Seeds chant the chorus like oarsmen on a Viking ship: “Dig yourself / Laz’rus, dig yourself / Back in that hole.” In sarcastic spoken-word, Cave recounts the mournful wanderings of post-tomb Lazarus, whose brief encounter with fame in modern America ends “back on the streets...
