Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will release new album ‘Wild God’ on 30th August 2024 it has been announced, the band’s 18th studio album.
The title track from the set is available to stream and download now. You can listen to it below:
“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.”
The album’s 10 tracks see the band moving between convention and experimentation, with plenty of left-turns in the mix. Moments from the record touch on the band’s past but mostly the album looks forward.
‘Wild God’ is produced by Nick 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.
