At the end of 2011, Nick Cave announced that Grinderman, his band who have released two albums, will be at least on hold, and that there are plans for a new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album. But what they will be doing is leaving us with a compilation called Grinderman 2 RMX, which will feature ‘a collection of remixes, reinterpretations & collaborations based on the songs contained in the band’s 2010 critically celebrated album Grinderman 2.’

The tracklisting looks like this:

Grinderman / Fripp – “Super Heathen Child”
A Place to Bury Strangers – “Worm Tamer”
Nick Zinner – “Bellringer Blues” (exclusive)
UNKLE – “Hyper Worm Tamer”
Joshua Homme – “Mickey Bloody Mouse”
Cat’s Eyes with Luke Tristram – “When My Baby Comes”
Barry Adamson – “Palaces Of Montezuma”
Silver Alert (featuring Matt Berninger) – “Evil”
SixToes – “When My Baby Comes” (exclusive)
Andy Weatherall – “Heathen Child”
Factory Floor – “Evil”
Grinderman – “First Evil”

This will be out on Mute Records on March 12.

This is the track doing the rounds as a stream – a remix from Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (who might also be back with us soon) of ‘Bellringer Blues’:
