Watch Nick Cave deliver a chilling reading of "Los Angeles" from his recent book The Sick Bag Song
Nick Cave has shared a new clip of himself reading a section from recent memoir The Sick Bag Song.
Titled "Los Angeles", it's the first of five videos that centre on Cave reading from different chapters in the book, each of which focus on a different city.
The Sick Bag Song's blurb reads:
The Sick Bag Song chronicles Nick Cave's 2014 tour of North America with The Bad Seeds. The account of this 22-city journey began life scribbled on airline sick bags and grew into a restless full-length epic, seeking out the roots of inspiration, love and meaning.
No longer just consigned to vomit receptacles, the autobiography-of-sorts now has a real (albeit limited) release in book form.
The video for "Los Angeles" was created by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard (who also made Nick Cave drama-documentary 20,000 Days On Earth), and features the enigmatic Australian delivering his reading doused in shadows, blinking lights and blurs, as if shot from the POV of a literal fly on the wall. There's also a creepy mannequin in the background, and spooky ambient noises howling in the breaks in silence. It's typically unsettling, and sees Nick Cave at his most Vincent Price-y.
