Album of the Week – 03-10-19

Were you one of those people waiting to listen to the new Nick Cave album when it went exclusively live on Youtube at 10pm last night? Any new album by Nick Cave is a reason for celebration and this is no different.

If this was a normal week, the lovely and lush new album by Angel Olsen (All Mirrors) would surely have been the winner. Other releases worthy of a mention include Boduf Songs (Abyss Versions), DIIV (Deceiver), The Penguin Cafe (Handfuls of Night), Wilco (Ode to Joy) and WIVES (So Removed). There’s a lot of good albums around this week! But we went for…

Album of the Week – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Ghosteen

“Ghosteen, the new two part album from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, will be released globally on all digital platforms on Friday 4 October.

The album was recorded in 2018 and early 2019 at Woodshed in Malibu, Nightbird in Los Angeles, Retreat in Brighton and Candybomber in Berlin. It was mixed by Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Lance Powell and Andrew Dominik at Conway in Los Angeles.”

“The songs on the first album are the children.
The songs on the second album are their parents.
Ghosteen is a migrating spirit.” – Nick Cave
