OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have unveiled their new album, ‘Wild God’, and shared the title track.
The 66-year-old star’s music can often be dark and melancholy, but fans can expect a “deeply and joyously infectious” batch of songs that reflect their happiness.
Cave said of the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Ghosteen’: “I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me.
“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.”
A press release read: “Across ten tracks, the band dance between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives.It is the sound of a group emboldened by re-connection and taking flight. There are moments that touch fondly upon the Bad Seeds’ past but they are fleeting, and serve only to imbue the relentless and restless forward motion of the band.”
As well as the Bad Seeds, Colin Greenwood plays bass and Luis Almau the nylon string guitar and acoustic guitar.
Nick said: “Wild God…there’s no [redacted] around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.”
‘Wild God’ will be released on Bad Seed in partnership with Play It Again Sam on streaming, CD, and standard and limited edition vinyl on August 30.

1. ‘Song of the Lake’
