Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce new double album 'Ghosteen'

After reportedly being badgered for months about when a new album would be happening, Nick Cave finally gave in and announced that the band would be releasing a new double LP, and it's arriving next week!

The new full-length 'Ghosteen' follows on from their stunning 2016 record 'Skeleton Tree', and is expected to be released digitally on the 4th October, with a physical release arriving on the 8th November.

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

Speaking about the new record, Nick Cave said, "The songs on the first album are the children. The songs on the second album are their parents. 'Ghosteen' is a migrating spirit."
