Co-produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, the 10-song LP has already been previewed by its title track.Arriving yesterday (April 3), a new two-minute-15-second trailer follows the Bad Seeds as they cut the album in the studio. “Let’s see what happens,” says Cave after he puts on his headphones.A piano-led instrumental then kicks in before we see the group work on one particularly “gnarly” part.
Later, Cave asks: “Is that one of the things we thought was good?” Another scene captures the singer-songwriter presenting what is perhaps “a controversial idea”.Elsewhere, there is a brief shot of Radiohead‘s Colin Greenwood recording a guest bass part.
The musician previously had a stint as a touring member in Cave’s solo band, as well as at his joint shows with Ellis.The trailer also reveals a contribution from regular collaborator and filmmaker Andrew Dominik, who directed Cave and Ellis’ 2022 documentary film This Much I Know To Be True.
