"There are some people out there who just don’t know where to start with The Bad Seeds. Others know the catalogue better than I do! This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That’s a lot of songs. The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason. Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out. And there are those that didn’t make it, poor things. They are the ones you must discover by yourselves". 

Με αυτή τη δήλωση ανακοίνωσε ο Nick Cave τη νέα best-of συλλογή του, που θα ονομάζεται "Lovely Creatures – The Best of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 1984-2014" και θα είναι διαθέσιμη στις 5 Μαΐου από την Mute Records. Η συλλογή αυτή ήταν κανονικά να παρουσιαστεί πριν από το τελευταίο άλμπουμ των Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds με τίτλο "Skeleton Tree" (album review). Ακολουθεί το trailer του "Lovely Creatures", το οποίο θα κυκλοφορήσει σε πολλές διαφορετικές εκδόσεις (διπλό CD, τριπλό βινύλιο, deluxe με τρία CD και ένα DVD και μια super-deluxe έκδοση που θα περιλαμβάνει και ένα βιβλίο 256 σελίδων), όπως και το tracklist των δυο πιο πολυτελών εκδόσεων.
