Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced that they’ll release a compilation album later this year.

Titled Lovely Creatures – The Best Of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 1984-2014, it’ll arrive on May 5 via Mute Records Ltd.

Cave reports: “There are some people out there who just don’t know where to start with The Bad Seeds. Others know the catalogue better than I do!

“This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That’s a lot of songs.

“The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason. Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out.

“And there are those that didn’t make it, poor things. They are the ones you must discover by yourselves.”

Lovely Creatures will be released on 2CD, 3LP, 3CD & DVD. There will also be a limited edition super deluxe version which features a two-hour DVD with rare footage and interviews, along with a 256-page hardcover book “containing original essays, candid and personal photos taken by the band, family and friends, and reproductions of band memorabilia.”

All versions are available for pre-order directly through Cave’s website.
