Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are set to release their highly anticipated 18th studio album, Wild God, next month. The album has already generated a lot of buzz, especially with the release of the third early taste from the album, “Long Dark Night.” The song is inspired by the poem “Dark Night of the Soul” by St. John of the Cross, which Cave describes as one of the greatest and most powerful poems of conversion ever written. Despite the heavy inspiration, Cave insists that the song is ultimately a beautiful country tune that serves as a companion to the album’s title track, “Wild God.”
In addition to “Long Dark Night,” Wild God also features the title track and “Frogs.” The album promises to be a diverse and reflective collection of songs that showcase Cave’s signature storytelling and musical style. Fans can get a taste of what to expect from the album by listening to these new tracks.
Cave recently opened up about his songwriting process in a candid interview, describing it as “a fucking nightmare.” This raw honesty and vulnerability in his creative process is what sets Cave apart from other artists. His willingness to confront the difficult aspects of his craft and draw inspiration from unconventional sources like poetry demonstrates his commitment to pushing boundaries and creating music that resonates with listeners on a deep level.
As a long-time fan of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, it’s exciting to see the band continue to evolve and experiment with their sound. With Wild God on the horizon, it’s clear that Cave and his bandmates are not content to rest on their laurels. Instead, they are constantly pushing themselves to explore new territory and challenge themselves artistically. This commitment to growth and creativity is what makes Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds such a beloved and enduring musical force in the industry.
