Karriärsamlingsalbum utannonserat för bortgångne Bad Seeds-pianisten Conway Savage

En karriärövergripande antologi med inspelningar av Conway Savage, den bortgångne pianisten i Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, har utannonserats för release den 17 juli. Samlingen, med titeln 'Too Dark To See: Solo & Collaborative Recordings 1992-2010', har sammanställts med hjälp av bandkollegan Mick Harvey. Den innehåller 24 spår från Savages solo- och samarbetsprojekt.

Conway Savage anslöt sig till Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds 1990 och bidrog till varje album förutom 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!' fram till sin död 2018, vid 58 års ålder, till följd av en hjärntumör. Den nya antologin, som ges ut via Impressed Recordings, inkluderar titelspåret från hans debut-EP från 1993, 'Too Dark to See', tillsammans med tolkningar av folkvisor som 'Fair & Tender Ladies' och 'You Did as You Were Told to Do'. Andra höjdpunkter är hämtade från hans soloalbum 'Nothing Broken' och 'Wrong Man's Hands' bland de totalt 24 låtarna på listan: 'Fair & Tender Ladies', '1000 Days', 'You Did as You Were Told to Do', 'Trail of Broken Hearts', 'I Trust You Had a Good Time', 'The Cross', 'Marlo', 'Sisters & Brothers', 'Old Soul with a New Hole', 'Tanist', 'These Are the Waves', 'Nothing Broken', 'Strings of the Earth & Air', 'Cruel Trick', 'Night Life', 'Only Ghosts', 'Just One of Those Things', 'Quickie for Ducky', 'The Saint of Shitty Little Rooms', 'Too Dark to See', 'Don’t Plan on Leaving Town', 'Say It Ain’t So', 'Crumbling World' och 'Tonight'.

Mick Harvey, en mångårig medlem i Bad Seeds, föreslog projektet för Impressed Recordings. Efter Savages bortgång beskrev bandet honom som "den anarkistiska tråden som löpte genom bandets liveframträdanden" och hyllade hans "höga och ljuva" röst som var "dränkt i soul". Nick Cave mindes ett gripande ögonblick: "En berusad natt, klockan fyra på morgonen, i en hotellbar i Köln, satte sig Conway vid pianot och sjöng 'Streets of Laredo' för oss... Farväl Conway, det finns inte ett torrt öga i huset."

I september förra året hedrades Savages minne vid en festival i Dundalk på Irland med framträdanden av vänner och bandkollegor.
