It appears that Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are almost ready to gift the fans their 17th studio album. During his recent Conversations With Nick Cave event in Melbourne, Cave discussed several things and decided to give the fans an update on the new record.
The 61-year-old musician said that the band “nearly finished” their new record adding that he thinks it will be “amazing.”
“We’ve really nearly finished a new record, I would say,” said Cave according to an eyewitness. “And it’s an amazing thing in my opinion.”
“I’m very, very excited about it,” he added.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ last studio effort, titled Skeleton Tree, landed in September 2016. The album received critical acclaim, and was described as “breathtakingly beautiful, grief-strewn record, sometimes direct, sometimes allegorical.” It topped the charts in several countries, including Australia, Poland, and Portugal, while peaking at No.2 at the UK Albums charts and No.27 at Billboard 200.
Back in September 2008, the band also presented an extended play Distant Sky: Live in Copenhagen, which was released on 12” vinyl and as a digital download. The EP was recorded at Copenhagen’s Royal Arena, and contained songs “Jubilee Street,” “Distant Sky,” From Her To Eternity,” “The Mercy Seat.”
