Follow-Up to 2005's B-Sides & Rarities featuring 27 Rare and Unreleased Tracks from 2006-2020!
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds present the 180g vinyl 2LP-set, B-Sides & Rarities Part II, the follow up to 2005's B-Sides & Rarities. Part II was compiled by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, and contains 27 rare and unreleased tracks from 2006-2020, including the first recordings of "Skeleton Tree," "Girl In Amber" and "Bright Horses." The song "Vortex" was written and recorded in 2006 by Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey and Jim Sclavunos. As the band were never able to define the song as either Grinderman or Bad Seeds, it remained unreleased. "I always liked the original B-Sides & Rarities more than any of our other albums," Cave shares. "It's the only one I'd listen to willingly. It seems more relaxed, even a bit nonsensical in places, but with some beautiful songs throughout. There is something, too, about the smallness of certain songs that is closer to their original spirit. B-Sides & Rarities Part II continues this strange and beautiful collection of lost songs from The Bad Seeds."
