Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Release “Frogs”
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have released “Frogs.” The track is off the band’s eagerly anticipated album Wild God, as a Limited Edition 7” on green colored vinyl. The disc features the single as well as an instrumental version of the track. “The Making of Wild God Part Two,” an exclusive behind the scenes look at the making of their upcoming highly anticipated album, Wild God (out August 30th) has also been released today. Filmed at Miraval Studios in France and directed by Megan Cullen, this exclusive footage offers a further glimpse into the beloved band’s creative process.
“I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me,” Cave says of Wild God, “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. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”
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 Studios in Provence, France and Soundtree Studios in London, England, the Bad Seeds added their unique alchemy, with additional performances from Colin Greenwood (bass) and Luis Almau (nylon string guitar, acoustic guitar).
“Wild God…there’s no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.” – Nick Cave.
Wild God will be released on Bad Seed in partnership with Play It Again Sam on streaming, CD, and standard and limited edition vinyl. This is the first album from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds since 2019’s Ghosteen.
