ABOUT NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS

Globally renowned as the lead singer and songwriter with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Nick Cave’s artistic output is prolific and ever-evolving. Over a creative career that spans more than 40 years, Cave has worked across a diverse number of disciplines; as a solo and collaborative musician, a score composer, a writer of books, film scripts and his weekly mailer The Red Hand Files, and more recently as a ceramic artist.

Wild God, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ 18th album, and first since 2019’s critically acclaimed Ghosteen, was released on August 30, 2024. Across ten tracks, the band dance effortlessly between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives. Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann, the album also includes performances from Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood and composer Luis Almau. The resulting record is a high watermark in a career crammed with them.
