NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS new album "Wild God" in August (Listen to the single)

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return with the new album entitled “Wild God”. The 18th studio album will be released on August 30, the first single is the title track “Wild God”.

I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it had on me,” says Cave.

It explodes from the speaker and I am overwhelmed by it. It’s a complicated record, but also deeply and joyfully infectious.

There’s never a master plan when we make a record. The records rather reflect the emotional state of the authors and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems like we’re happy.”

THE DISC

Across ten songs, the band dances between convention and experimentation, with twists and turns that enhance the rich imagery and emotion of Cave’s narratives.

This represents the sound of a group feeling emboldened by reconnecting and taking flight. While there are moments that gently caress about the Bad Seeds’ past, these are fleeting and only serve to underline the band’s relentless, restless progression.

Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis and mixed by David Fridmann, Cave began writing the album on New Year’s Day 2023. During sessions at Miraval in Provence and London’s Soundtree, the Bad Seeds added their unique chemistry, with the additional participation of Colin Greenwood (bass) and Luis Almau (classical guitar, acoustic guitar).

“Wild God… don’t mess with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you up. It moves you. I like that look” – Nick Cave

‘Wild God’ will be released by Bad Seed in collaboration with Play It Again Sam on streaming, CD and limited and standard edition vinyl.
