It turns out that Nick Cave was in the studio this past couple of months and he has a new album. The legendary Australian musician recently revealed on his fan page The Red Hand Files that he and The Bad Seeds are putting out a new record, titled Ghosteen, next week.
One fan posted a question on The Red Hand Files asking Cave when could he expect his next album and the musician gave him an unexpected answer.
“You can expect a new album next week. It is called Ghosteen. It is a double album,” Cave responded.
Cave also revealed that the first part of the album will consist of eight songs, while the second part will be made out of two love songs which are linked by a spoken piece.
“The songs on the first album are the children. The songs on the second album are their parents. Ghosteen is a migrating spirit,” he added while following up the first response with the album’s cover.
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ last studio album Skeleton Tree came out in 2016. The band had a couple of more releases after that, including compilation album Lovely Creatures: The Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and EP Distant Sky: Live in Copenhagen.
