Cave/Ellis Score Together Again

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are, depending on your opinion, either the modern-day musical equivalent of a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid union, or a faintly distasteful bearded version of the Paul Rudd/Jason Segel shtick in ‘I Love You, Man’. Assume your respective positions; they’re back with a new project.
Pitchfork reports that Cave and Ellis have updated their joint MySpace to note that they have scored ‘The Girls of Phnom Penh’. The film, a documentary from director Matthew Watson, is described as being about ‘the consequences of Cambodia’s virginity trade’. Sounds like the perfect film to invite Blixa Bargeld, Mick Harvey and James Johnston (the three most recent ‘departures’ from the Bad Seeds) around to watch over a bucket of pop-corn, doesn’t it Nick and Warren ?
The film is due for release towards the end of 2009. The score caps off an extraordinary run of work between Cave and Ellis who have combined on the Bad Seeds, Grinderman, 3 other film scores and the score to the recent version of Georg Buchner’s Woyzeck since Ellis joined the Bad Seeds as an official member for ‘The Boatman’s Call’ record.
Bromance is dead ? Hardly – their score for director-buddy John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s ‘The Road’ is due in October.
