Tiger Lillies 'Lessons in Nihilism' (GB)
The post-punk pioneers the Tiger Lillies present a new album on a theme which has always run through their work - the meaninglessness and absurdity of existence. Brimming with wit, wisdom and humanity they argue that all our achievements will come to nothing - like throwing stones into a pond, the effects of our actions will only ripple away into nothingness.
Martyn Jacques says: "One of the big words used to describe us has always been nihilists. I checked Google to see if anyone has given lessons in nihilism. It appears nobody has. It is considered a philosophy though actual definitions seem to vary as to what it actually is. Some people seem to think it’s bad, for others it’s fine. Anyway it seemed like as good a title as any to write a new collection of songs on. And when it’s your 50th album you do need to find some kind of excuse to write another one."
