Greenwood previously had a stint as a touring member in Caveâs solo band, as well as at his joint shows with Warren Ellis. Last week, it was revealed that the Radiohead member has contributed to the Bad Seeds’ 18th album ‘Wild God’ (out August 30) in a new trailer.
Cave recently told fans that the upcoming 10-track record is âfull of secretsâ. He has also explained that the collection isnât âset through a lens of lossâ unlike its predecessors âSkeleton Treeâ (2016) and âGhosteenâ (2019). Those two albums dealt with the grief Cave experienced following the death of his 15-year-old son, Arthur, in 2015.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are set to embark on a European, UK and Ireland tour later this year in support of âWild Godâ. When announcing the dates, Cave said: âThe record just feels like it was made for the stage.â Find any remaining tickets (UK/Ireland) here.
In other news, Cave has criticised âwoke cultureâ for its âlack of mercyâ and âlack of forgivenessâ.
Meanwhile, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have composed and recorded the score for the new Amy Winehouse biopic, Back To Black. The former has contributed an original song to the filmâs official soundtrack too, âSong For Amyâ.
