Nick Cave’s The Sick Bag Song began as a series of poetic musings scribbled on airplane barf bags during the Bad Seeds 2014 tour of North America. Now it’s a full-fledged book, with a new limited edition version just published. In honor of that, filmmakers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard — the team behind the great Nick Cave pseudo-documentary 20,000 Days On Earth — have made a series of five short films featuring Cave reading from a different city’s chapter in the book. The spooky “Los Angeles” video shows a weirdly refracted Cave looking (as always) like a dapper vampire as he talks over an unsettling ambient score. Watch it below.

The Sick Bag Song is out now, and you can watch the New York, Portland, and Denver videos here.
