Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds share ‘The Making Of Wild God - Part 1’
The exclusive footage offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the making of their forthcoming 18th album.
Following the news that Nick Cave & 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 snippet of exclusive studio footage showing them working on the record.
Directed by Megan Cullen, the new video - which depicts the band recording in Provence’s Miraval Studios - arrives in the wake of their recent tour announcement, for which tickets are on sale now. They’ll play a run of UK and European shows 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 on alternate dates across the tour).
Spanning ten tracks, the new LP follows 2019’s ‘Ghosteen’, and 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.”
