Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' first album as a band since 2019 is finally here, in all its joyous grandeur. While it may take some getting used to the idea of the Prince of Darkness doing an emotive about turn like this, Wild God is hardly a simplistic whistling of Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life. The long-awaited album was heralded by The Guardian as a five star gem, stating "this masterpiece will make you fall back in love with life". - Flying Out


Across ten tracks, the band dance between convention and experimentation, taking left turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives. It is the sound of a group emboldened by reconnection and taking flight. There are moments that touch fondly upon the Bad Seeds’ past but they are fleeting, and serve only to imbue the relentless and restless forward motion of the band.

Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann, Cave began writing the album on New Year’s Day 2023. With sessions at Miraval in Provence and Soundtree in London, the Bad Seeds added their unique alchemy, with additional performances from Colin Greenwood (bass) and Luis Almau (nylon string guitar, acoustic guitar).
