Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds tell a freewheeling story of a deity roaming the planet on their new single, “Wild God,” which will appear on their upcoming album, also titled Wild God, due out Aug. 30. The album will be the band’s 18th overall and first since 2019’s Ghosteen.
The group blends rock, gospel, and even a little harpsichord to create a five-minute journey. “I’m a wild god flying and wild god swimming, and I’m an old sick god dying and crying and singing,” Cave sings before...

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have announced a new album called Wild God, which will arrive on August 30th. Today, the band shared the album’s title track and lead single.
Released via Bad Seed in partnership with Play It Again Sam, Wild God will span 10 tracks, each produced by Cave and Warren Ellis. In addition to the band’s lineup — consisting of Cave, Ellis, Thomas Wydler, Martyn Casey, Jim Sclavunos, and George Vjestica — Luis Almau and Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood made contributions to the album.
Speaking about Wild God in a new statement, Cave expressed a “hope [that] the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me.” Continuing, he explained: “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. There is never a master plan when we make a record.

Three singers huddle and lean forward, their long, sparkly garments dangling before them as they chant in staccato unison: “Hand-of-God! Hand-of-God! Hand-of-God!” Warren Ellis, meanwhile, sits stationary except for his hands, which run windmills around his Gandalf beard as he closes his eyes tight and chants along with them, completely entranced. All the while, Nick Cave — the rangy leader of this ad-hoc religious sect — leaps from one side of the stage to the other. He crouches, poses in crucifixion stances, and celebrates the might and mysteries of faith like a man possessed.
