Following the news that Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will drop their 18th studio album ‘Wild God’ on 30th August (on Bad Seed Records, in partnership with Play It Again Sam), the band have now shared a special album trailer for the record, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come.

The new video - which shows the band recording in Provence’s Miraval Studios - lands just a few weeks on from their recent tour announcement. The band will play a run of UK and European tour dates to celebrate the release of ‘Wild God’ this September, October and November, with support from the likes of Dry Cleaning, The Murder Capital, or Black Country, New Road, who’ll be supporting at alternate dates across the tour.

Spanning ten tracks, the new LP is set to to continue to expand the band’s rich sonic and literary world, using moments in their collective past as jumping-off points for experimentation and reinvention. Having begun writing on New Year’s Day 2023, Cave then co-produced ‘Wild God’ alongside bandmate Warren Ellis - a process which took place between sessions in Miravel, Provence, and London’s Soundtree studios.

“I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me,” Cave has said. “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.”
