Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return with new album, Wild God.

I hope the album has the effect on listeners that its had on me, Cave says. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. Its a complicated record, but its 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 dont know, it seems were happy.

Across ten tracks, the band dance between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Caves soul-stirring narratives. It is the sound of a group emboldened by reconnection and taking flight. There are moments that touch fondly upon the Bad Seeds past but they are fleeting, and serve only to imbue the relentless and restless forward motion of the band.

Produced by Cave and Warren Ell
