Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds release lead single from upcoming album

03 December 2012

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have recently announced the release of their 15th studio album. Push the Sky Away is due out on February 18th in Europe and a day later in the US.
Nick Cave describes the new album as “the ghost-baby in the incubator and Warren’s loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat.” He adds that the “record just seems new, you know, but new in an old school kind of way”.

Push the Sky Away, recorded in a 19th Century mansion in the South of France, was produced by Nick Launay.
According to the album’s blurb, “at the heart of Push the Sky Away is a naturalism and warmth that makes it the most subtly beautiful of all the Bad Seeds albums”.

Today Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are premiering the first beautifully orchestrated single from Push the Sky Away, ‘We No Who U R’. Listen to it below and straight after check out the album’s trailer.
