Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return with new album, ‘Wild God’. “I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had onme,” says Cave. “It bursts out of the speaker, and I get sweptup with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply andjoyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we makea record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state ofthe writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, Idon’t know, it seems we’re happy.” Across ten tracks, the band dance between convention andexperimentation, taking left turns and detours that heighten therich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives. It isthe sound of a group emboldened by reconnection and takingflight. There are moments that touch fondly upon the BadSeeds’ past, but they are fleeting, and serve only to imbue therelentless and restless forward motion of the band. Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by DavidFridmann, Cave began writing the album on New Year’s Day,2023. With sessions at Miraval in Provence and Soundtree inLondon, the Bad Seeds added their unique alchemy, withadditional performances from Colin Greenwood (bass) and LuisAlmau (nylon string guitar, acoustic guitar). “‘Wild God’… there’s no fucking around with this record. When ithits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.”- NickCave CD housed in premium Remus spine sleeve, containing CDwallet and eight-page booklet.
