Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds are back after a five-year break with their new album Wild God! Across ten tracks, the band dances between convention and experimentation, taking left turns and detours that enhance the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s heartfelt narratives.
There are moments that fondly recall the Bad Seeds’ past, but they are fleeting and only serve to add another facet to the band’s relentless and restless forward momentum. Nick Cave says of the album: “It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious.”
