Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds announce their eighteenth studio album, Wild God
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced their return with the forthcoming album, Wild God, alongside the release of its title track.
“I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me,” Cave says. “It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”
Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann, Cave began writing the album on New Year’s Day 2023. With sessions at Miraval in Provence and Soundtree in London, the Bad Seeds added their unique alchemy, with additional performances from Colin Greenwood and Luis Almau. The album follows on from 2019's Ghosteen.
