NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS New Album – Skeleton Tree RELEASED WORLDWIDE SEPTEMBER 9
Watch the ‘I Need You’ video here With visuals from feature film ONE MORE TIME WITH FEELING Global screenings now extended to September 11
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds‘ sixteenth studio album Skeleton Tree is released worldwide today, September 9th 2016 on vinyl, CD and across all digital platforms via Bad Seed Ltd. Skeleton Tree follows The Bad Seeds’ most critically and commercially successful release of recent times, Push the Sky Away(2013).
In addition, today Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ reveal the video for I Need You. Accompanying the track is footage of the band performing the song taken from Andrew Dominik’s 3D black and white feature film One More Time With Feeling, which screened globally last night.
Skeleton Tree began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in Autumn 2015. The album was completed and mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016.
Apart from “Jesus Alone” which debuted in advance of the rest of the album, tracks from Skeleton Tree were first publicly unveiled at the worldwide screenings of One More Time With Feeling on September 8th. Directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, the Oscar nominated The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly), One More Time With Feeling began as a performance-based film, but evolved into something more complex as Dominik delved into the personal 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 ruminations. Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is stark, fragile and raw – a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness.
A co-production between Iconoclast and Pulse Films, in association with JW Films, and produced by Dulcie Kellett and James Wilson, One More Time With Feeling officially world- premiered at the 2016 Venice Film Festival and has screened at more than 800 cinemas around the world.

Andrew Dominik’s unique new 3D B&W feature film ONE MORE TIME WITH FEELING
Screening globally on September 8th
The feature film launches new studio album by NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS SKELETON TREE Released worldwide September 9th
Director Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination Of Jesse James), has issued the very first public statement about working with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on new 3D black-and-white feature film One More Time With Feeling:
When Nick approached me about making a film around the recording and performing of the new Bad Seeds album, I’d been seeing quite a lot of him as we rallied around him and his family at the time of his son’s death. My immediate response was “Why do you want to do this?” Nick told me that he had some things he needed to say, but he didn’t know who to say them to. The idea of a traditional interview, he said, was simply unfeasible but that he felt a need to let the people who cared about his music understand the basic state of things. It seemed to me that he was trapped somewhere and just needed to do something – anything – to at least give the impression of forward movement. I took the record away and listened to it trying to work out a way into the whole thing. In the end I agreed to do it if I could shoot it in black-and-white and 3D. Nick’s response was, “I fucking hate 3D” or something like that. I showed him old black and white photos viewed through a stereopticon from the 50s. I told him I wanted to make a film where these sorts of photos came slowly to life. I felt that the stark black-and-white and the haunted drama of these 3D images perfectly addressed the disembodied sound of the record and the weird sense of paralysis that Nick seemed to exist in at the time. To achieve this effect we built a special camera, a massive, lumbering piece of equipment that’s almost comic lack of mobility added to the eerie drift of the film itself. No one has ever seen a 3D black-and-white non-animated feature film in modern times – for as far as I know, no such thing exists. It is both modern and from a distant age – much like the Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ new record, Skeleton Tree, actually. Nick came to Los Angeles and watched the film. His response was obviously conflicted. How could it not be? In the end he said, “leave it as it is” – which we did. He said that it was obviously “made with love” – which it was and finally, “to make sure they see it in 3D”.
NEW STUDIO ALBUM – SKELETON TREE
RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 9, 2016
FEATURE FILM – ONE MORE TIME WITH FEELING
ONE NIGHT ONLY: SEPTEMBER 8, 2016
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree, will be released globally on vinyl, CD and across all digital platforms on 9th September 2016. This follows the Bad Seeds’ most critically and commercially successful release of recent times, Push the Sky Away (2013).
Skeleton Tree began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015. The album was mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016.
The first opportunity anyone will have to hear any of the songs from the album will be to watch One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly). The film will screen in more than 650 cinemas across the world on September 8, 2016, immediately prior to the release of Skeleton Tree the following day.
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 color, 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.
“Very often a tension can happen between music and picture that is about chance and a kind of unknowingness that can be really amazing. Just by putting together two things that were created in isolation, music and film, suddenly something quite magical can happen.” – Nick Cave
The latest ravishing score by Cave and Ellis is for director David Olehoffen’s Far From Men and is out now on Bad Seed Ltd.
Far From Men was a triple prizewinner at the Venice film festival (2014) and stars Viggo Mortensen and Reda Kateb. Adapted from a short story by Albert Camus, it is a powerful tale of divided loyalties and colonialist violence during Algeria’s war of independence. With its mesmeric drones, pointillist piano jabs, weeping strings and nerve-jangling electronics, this is one of the duo’s most emotive and experimental soundtracks to date, sounding both achingly intimate and cosmically vast.
“Very often a tension can happen between music and picture that is about chance and a kind of unknowingness that can be really amazing. Just by putting together two things that were created in isolation, music and film, suddenly something quite magical can happen.” – Nick Cave
The latest ravishing score by Cave and Ellis is for director David Olehoffen’s Loin Des Hommes (Far From Men) and is released through Bad Seeds Ltd. on May 19th.
Far From Men was a triple prizewinner at the Venice film festival (2014) and stars Viggo Mortensen and Reda Kateb. Adapted from a short story by Albert Camus, it is a powerful tale of divided loyalties and colonialist violence during Algeria’s war of independence. With its mesmeric drones, pointillist piano jabs, weeping strings and nerve-jangling electronics, this is one of the duo’s most emotive and experimental soundtracks to date, sounding both achingly intimate and cosmically vast.
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis create film and theatre scores that are elegantly minimal, hauntingly beautiful and instantly recognizable as theirs alone. Full of light and shade, creeping dread and inconsolable yearning, these heavily instrumental sound paintings inject aching humanity into ghostly frontier towns, parched desert vistas and post-apocalyptic war zones. Most are built around the duo’s intertwined piano and violin melodies, with sporadic use of guitar, flute, mandolin, celeste, percussion and other elements. Vocals are rare and sparing. But even without lyrics, they are always lyrical.
While Cave and Ellis have played together in the Bad Seeds and related projects since 1995, their shadow career as score composers only blossomed a decade later. The duo created their first suite of cinematic soundscapes for The Proposition (2005), directed by fellow Australian and frequent collaborator John Hillcoat. Scripted by Cave himself, this brutal Outback western starred Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Emily Watson and Danny Huston. Bedded in looped violin motifs, these widescreen instrumentals and hushed ballads evoked the parched majesty and sweltering savagery of the story’s elemental desert setting.
According to Cave, discovering Ellis’ deep archive of violin loops was a revelatory tipping point, laying the foundations for the duo’s unorthodox composition methods. “It was suddenly an amazing way to write because you didn’t have to do things from scratch,” he explains. “Warren would put on a loop that would create this instant atmosphere, and we could go off and work on top of that. To sit at a piano, put chords onto a linear loop and make something out of that is just an easy and very pleasurable way to work.”
Cave and Ellis followed The Proposition with a trio of kinetic theatre pieces for the much-feted Icelandic actor-director Gisli Örn Gardarsson: Woyzeck (2006), Metamorphosis (2006) and Faust (2010). Their speedy composing techniques allowed them to take risks on this kind of left-field production, where raw creative energy takes precedence over budget. They also added plaintive tones and drones to two acclaimed documentaries: Geoffrey Smith’s The English Surgeon (2007), about an exiled doctor’s struggle to bring modern neurosurgery to post-Soviet Ukraine, and Matthew Watson’s The Girls of Phnom Penh(2009), a compassionate portrait of three sex workers in Cambodia.
Meanwhile, Hollywood began to take an interest in the shape of Andrew Dominik’s elegiac anti-westernThe Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. Because of post-production delays, the score was composed before Cave and Ellis saw a single frame of the finished film, and yet these sepia-tinted sound paintings and retro-rustic ballad proved a perfect fit for Dominik’s visually sumptuous psychological study of hero worship and homicidal stalking in the Old West. Cave even played an acting cameo, as a yelping saloon-bar minstrel.
Between film scores, the duo’s freeform working methods increasingly began to bleed into their rock-band day jobs with the Bad Seeds, Dirty Three and especially Grinderman. “Initially with The Proposition we would sit there and make hours and hours of music,” Ellis recalls. “Then that sprawled into the way we started doing the Grinderman stuff. It felt like there was a way to take that stuff into the bands, or form a band based around that approach. The score work always felt like it was asking to go to places that the bands weren’t.”
Cave and Ellis reunited with director John Hillcoat for his sombre adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s dystopian novel The Road (2009), starring Viggo Mortensen as a loving father guiding his young son across the ash-strewn ruins of a post-apocalyptic America. Their artfully minimal score combines mournful piano with clanging industrial percussion, heartsick longing and lurking malice. An anthology album of the duo’s film music to date, White Lunar, was also released in 2009.
After contributing to Everardo Valerio Gout’s award-winning Mexican crime thriller Days of Grace (2011), Cave and Ellis composed a full score for Amy Berg’s true-life documentary West of Memphis (2012), about a notoriously controversial murder case in Arkansas. The duo then changed musical gear for their next John Hillcoat collaboration, the blood-soaked Depression-era bootlegging thriller Lawless (2012), starring Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain. Cave adapted the screenplay while he and Ellis assembled a wilfully anachronistic selection of bluegrass cover versions, performed with a supergroup ensemble of vocal legends including Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris and Mark Lanegan.
Far From Men is released on Bad Seeds Ltd. May 19th 2015.
Eleven classic Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds albums dating back to 1984’s critically-acclaimed debut From Her To Eternity are to appear on heavyweight, 180g vinyl for the first time.
Four albums will be released December 16, 2014 with the remaining titles to follow in 2015. The campaign follows the recent acquisition of the Mute Records catalogue by BMG.
Each album has been re-mastered in a process overseen by former Bad Seed and founder member, the multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey. All album artwork reflects the original release from the cover to the printed inner sleeves.
BMG Director of Masters and Product Management Didier Dehauteur said, “The Bad Seeds catalogue is a precious piece of rock history. We are determined to deliver a set of reissues which genuinely pay tribute to a seminal band.”
The following titles will be released on December 16, 2014:
From Her To Eternity – Single LP
(Original Release Date June 18, 1984)
Recorded in London Studios The Garden and Trident, From Her To Eternity marked the debut of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds after the break-up of Nick Cave’s former band The Birthday Party. Features Blixa Bargeld, of Berlin’s Einstuerzende Neubauten, on guitar. Said Cave at the time, “I don’t really think he knows how to play in the conventional sense at all. He just makes these incredible sounds.”
The Firstborn is Dead – Single LP
(Original Release Date June 3, 1985)
Album number two was recorded in Berlin. Co-produced by Flood and the band, it was rich with references to the blues and bluesmen, the American South, and especially to Elvis Presley. Soundsdescribed the album as “the most evocative blues record for years.”
Kicking Against The Pricks – Single LP
(Original Release Date Aug 18, 1986)
The band’s third album was a collection of cover versions of songs ranging from “I’m Gonna Kill That Woman” (John Lee Hooker) to “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” (Jimmy Webb) to “Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart” (Roger Greenaway, Roger Cook). Said Cave, “They were all done for different reasons. Some songs were tributes…other songs we didn’t think the song was ever done particularly well in the first place. Some songs had just haunted my childhood, like ‘The Carnival Is Over’ (Tom Springfield), which I always loved.”
Your Funeral…My Trial – Double LP
(Original Release Date Nov 3, 1986)
First released as a double EP, Your Funeral…My Trial has a notable melancholy tone. Cave himself later said, “(This is) my favorite of the records we’ve done, is very special to me and a lot of amazing things happened, musically, in the studio. There are some songs on that record that as far as I’m concerned are just about perfect as we can get really – songs like ‘The Carny,’ ‘Your Funeral, My Trial,’ and ‘Stranger Than Kindness.’”
20,000 DAYS ON EARTH NEW YORK RELEASE EVENT TO BE BROADCAST LIVE BY NOISEY20,000 Days on Earth
“One day you’ll get into Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds because sooner or later everyone does, and when you do you’ll realize they’re the finest live band on the planet.” – Vice
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have released two previously unavailable tracks: “Give Us A Kiss” and “Jubilee Street (live from The Sydney Opera House)”. The songs from the award-winning feature 20,000 Days On Earth will be available digitally on September 4 with a limited edition vinyl 10” to be released onNovember 10. Pre-order the vinyl here and purchase the digital single on iTunes.
Additionally, Nick Cave will celebrate the United States theatrical release of 20,000 Days on Earth with a special screening at New York’s Town Hall.

Tickets for this exclusive release event will be available for purchase by the general public at 12pm EST on Saturday, September 6 with a special fan presale occurring on Friday, September 5 at 12pm EST. Visit www.nickcave.com/livefor further information.
The film’s directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard spoke of the impact the band and their music has had on them and their debut feature 20,000 Day On Earth since shooting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds live at Sydney Opera house on their 2013 Push The Sky Away tour.
“’Jubilee Street’ forced its way into our film. We’d planned to end with ‘Push The Sky Away’ and it’s pertinent lyrics about rock ‘n’ roll getting you right down to your soul; but after the band played ‘Jubilee Street’ at Sydney Opera House we didn’t stand a chance. Only four songs in and there was Nick, transforming in front of us. Our lives haven’t been the same since.”
The film constructs a narrative and cinematic reality that seamlessly blends performance and storytelling with emotional truths. Neither a music documentary nor a concert film, 20,000 Days On Earth contains not just electrifying performances, but also keen insights into the creative process: we see a song grow from the tiniest of ideas sketched out by Cave in his office to a monstrous epic performed by the peerless Bad Seeds on stage at Sydney Opera House.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds fifteenth studio album Push The Sky Away was released in 2013 to a chorus of laudatory global reviews, charting at number 1 in seven countries. With their recent US shows were extolled as “rock and fucking roll at its finest” by Mother Jones, and hailed by their fans as their best yet, the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds story continues to unfold and grow.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos, Conway Savage, Barry Adamson and George Vjestica.
Nick Cave will perform at a trio of exclusive events this summer in conjunction with advance screenings of 20,000 Days on Earth, the groundbreaking new film on the iconic rock legend, and winner of two awards at the Sundance Film Festival.

The debut directorial feature film of visual artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, the film — which opens theatrically on September 17, 2014 — is set to an original score by Nick Cave and fellow Bad Seeds band mate Warren Ellis.

But the themes of time and lifetime, and the 20,000-day take on it, make this one a must-see.”
