Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have announced Skeleton Tree, their first album since 2013's Push the Sky Away. Since then, Cave has released Bad Seeds song “Give Us a Kiss” (from the film 20,000 Days on Earth) and written a book, The Sick Bag Song. The new album is out September 9, and it'll accompany an Andrew Dominik-directed feature film, One More Time With Feeling, out in cinemas the night before. Work on the album began in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015.
The press release features some details on the film:
Originally a performance based concept, One More Time With Feeling evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination.
Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness.
