Wild God

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return with their eighteenth studio album, "Wild God," a powerful and celebratory collection of songs that mark a significant evolution in their sound. Released on August 30, 2024, via Play It Again Sam, this 44-minute journey is a testament to the band's enduring creativity and Nick Cave's personal growth. Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, with mixing by Dave Fridmann, "Wild God" is a muscular and thematically complete album designed to be experienced live, as evidenced by the accompanying "Wild God Tour" across the UK and Europe.

"Wild God" sees Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds continuing their sonic shift away from their gothic, post-punk roots, embracing a more vibrant and explosive sound. The album is preceded by the singles "Wild God," "Frogs," and "Long Dark Night," each offering a glimpse into the album's rich tapestry of themes and styles. From the joyous celebration of love in "O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)" to the introspective "Conversion" and the haunting "Long Dark Night," the album explores the complexities of life, love, and loss with Cave's signature poetic lyricism and the band's signature musical prowess.

The album's title track sets the tone with its ferocious energy, while "Joy" and "Cinnamon Horses" add layers of color and texture to the band's signature sound. "Wild God" is not just a collection of songs but a cohesive body of work that reflects Cave's personal experiences and the band's collective evolution. With its explosive arrangements and grayscale flavors, "Wild God" stands out as a bold and unapologetic statement from one of rock's most enduring and influential acts. The album is available on streaming platforms, CD, and vinyl, including limited edition clear and grey vinyl pressings.
