Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will release a new album on August 30, Wild God. The title track debuted last week and is shared below. It is the 18th studio album from the group, which last released Ghosteen in 2019.
“I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me,” Cave says in a press release. “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 master plan 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.”
