Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Announce ‘Push The Sky Away’

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have announced plans to release their fifteenth studio album next year.

‘Push The Sky Away’ is due to be released on the 18th February, and was recorded La Fabrique - a Southern French recording studio built in a 19th Century mansion - whilst being produced by Nick Launay.

The six-piece’s latest effort follows on from 2008’s ‘Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!’, and is set to be nine tracks in length:

1. We No Who U R
2. Wide Lovely Eyes
3. Water’s Edge
4. Jubilee Street
5. Mermaids
6. We Real Cool
7. Finishing Jubilee Street
8. Higgs Boson Blues
9. Push The Sky Away

Speaking of the band’s fifteenth effort, frontman Nick Cave has made the following comments: ‘Well, if I were to use that threadbare metaphor of albums being like children, then Push The Sky Away is the ghost-baby in the incubator and Warren’s loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat.

I don’t know, this record just seems new, you know, but new in an old school kind of way.’

The opening track, ‘We No Who U R’, will be available for digital download from 3rd December, and anyone who pre-orders the album - which will be available in CD, Ltd CD-DVD, vinyl and digital editions - will instantly receive the track for free.
