Heroic comeback album from soul giant...

Speaking to Uncut around the release of The Proposition, Nick Cave conceded, “The whole thing was a struggle. So much effort was put into it. It’s the most agonising, frustrating business to be in. Years go by trying to get something off the ground – one idea! It’s unbelievable, the vision you have at the beginning is constantly chipped away at, and you haven’t even filmed anything.”

Former Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser is set to play her first full show since 1998. The singer will debut her new material, as well as perform re-interpretations of Cocteau Twins songs, at Bath Pavillion on Saturday August 4. The show is as a warm-up gig for her two sold-out nights at the Royal Festival Hall in London later in August, as part of this year's Antony Hegarty-curated Meltdown festival.
