Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - B-Sides & Rarities: Part II (Vinyl)
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: B-Sides & Rarities Part II (compiled by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis) is a 27-track collection released in October 2021, featuring rare and unreleased material from 2006 to 2020. The follow-up to 2005's B-Sides & Rarities Part I, this collection focuses on recordings made between 2006-2019, ranging in sound from the straightforward rock of Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! to the ambient, electronic tones of Push The Sky Away, Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen.
Needle Boy, Lightning Bolts and Animal X are some of the band's earlier examples of electronics, preceding their mid to late 2010s works and are all very interesting. Free To Walk features Debbie Harry of Blondie, Opium Eyes would have fit nicely on Push The Sky Away and a few early versions of songs from Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen appear and give insight into the progress and changes that the song went through.
A rather fascinating collection of b-sides and curios that showcases how dynamic and ever-evolving The Bad Seeds truly are.
