Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are a formidable duo when it comes to facial hair. With Cave's totally badass handlebar and Ellis' full-face of the fuzz, it's a match made in hirsute heaven. Enough about facial hair, however, you're not here for me to ramble on about sideburns all day.
Obviously, they're also a proper musical duo, having worked together for over fifteen years, working on various projects and film scores and soundtracks, something of interest here. They've just released a double album entitled White Lunar, which is a compilation of the music they composed from various films along the years, cinematic scores and previously unreleased material. Neat, huh?
We're giving away a signed copy of the double CD to THREE VERY LUCKY READERS.
