Feature Album – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Wild God
8CCC Feature Album 24 January 2025
“I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me,” Nick 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.”Produced by 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, the Bad Seeds added their unique alchemy, with additional performances from Colin Greenwood (bass) and Luis Almau (nylon string guitar, acoustic guitar). Their 18th studio album, Wild God's been out since the end of August 2024 on PIAS, so if you haven't had a listen, here's your chance! If you're in the US from April this year, you may catch their North American tour.
