Wild God is the eighteenth studio album by the Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, released on 30 August 2024 on PIAS. Produced by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, the album was mixed by Dave Fridmann and preceded by the singles "Wild God", "Frogs" and "Long Dark Night".

Contents

Released five years after Ghosteen (2019), which was primarily a studio collaboration between Cave and Ellis, Wild God is the first studio album to feature the full participation of the Bad Seeds since Skeleton Tree (2016).

The album was a commercial success, topping the charts in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland, while placing in the top ten across Europe. It also received highly positive reviews. Wild God received two nominations at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance ("Song of the Lake"). [3] The album was also nominated for the 2024 Australian Music Prize. [4]

Background

Wild God… there's no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.

Nick Cave on Wild God [5]

Cave began writing the album on New Year's Day 2023. [6] Recording took place at Miraval Studios, Provence and Soundtree in London. [7] Cave produced the album alongside Warren Ellis, while mixing was handled by David Fridmann. Additional performers include Colin Greenwood of Radiohead and Luis Almau. [8] Wild God sees the band exploring themes of "convention and experimentation" that are set to enhance "rich imagery and emotive narratives". [9] In a statement, Cave hopes the album has the "effect on listeners" that it had on him. He describes it as a "complicated record" but simultaneously "deeply and joyously infectious". As their records reflect the band's "emotional state", Cave shared the impression that they are "happy" this time around. [10]

The album's full-band aesthetic was influenced by the band's 2022 European tour, which found the band members convening for the first time since the cancellation of the band's planned Ghosteen tour, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ellis noted: "The last few records, we'd been deconstructing the sound. When we did the 2022 festival shows, it was so fantastic to find that beautiful chaotic energy of the Bad Seeds." [11] Guitarist George Vjestica elaborated, "After COVID, the tour we did in 2022, there was a pure joy in getting back on the road and playing again. And I think Nick felt that too. And I think that fed back into this record." [11]

Cave and Ellis decided upon the album title, Wild God, in November 2023 after finishing the mixing process at David Fridmann's studio in Cassadaga, New York. Cave had three potential title options, noting: "Warren asked me what we were going to call the record. I had three ideas, which were titles of songs on the album, 'Conversion', 'Joy' and 'Wild God'. We discussed the titles and thought Conversion was probably too overtly religious and may scare people off; we both liked Joy, but I was concerned that the word 'Joy' might be interpreted as 'Happy', which felt misleading. This left Wild God. We both agreed that this was a powerful and mysterious title for an album." [12]

Recording

The album's earliest recording sessions took place at Soundtree studios in Shoreditch, East London in the spring of 2023, with Nick Cave on piano and Warren Ellis on synthesizer. Cave noted that the sessions "immediately sounded good" but that the sparse nature of the recordings became "a major problem. There's a sort of falseness to that after a while." [11] Cave and Ellis wanted to expand the sound to include bass guitar, however longtime Bad Seeds bassist Martyn P. Casey was based in Australia and unable to quickly attend the recording sessions. Cave and Ellis invited Radiohead bass guitarist Colin Greenwood, who had played with the duo on their 2022 Carnage tour, to participate in the recording sessions due to his proximity to the studio. Cave noted, "It was not the intention to have Colin replace Martyn. He was just up the road. As soon as Colin was in there, it lost that ambient, free-floating thing. Everything became more external." [11] Greenwood later joined the Bad Seeds in a touring capacity on the Wild God UK and European tour in 2024, due to Casey's health complications.

The album ultimately found each of the Bad Seeds members contributing fully to the recording process for the first time since Skeleton Tree (2016), with guitarist George Vjestica noting: "On Wild God, it felt like there was more space to express yourself. But you don't get many passes. You've got to be on it. For instance, on "Frogs" - the first night we got to France I tried something out that just wasn't working. I was like, 'Oh, Christ'. Overnight, I couldn't stop thinking about Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman", the simplicity of that guitar line. And the next morning I went in and did it in one take. Just very simple and it absolutely fit. Nick and Colin Greenwood were like, 'That's the one.'" [11]

Longtime drummer Thomas Wydler, who retired from touring with the Bad Seeds in 2018 due to health complications, stated: "The first second I started playing on the new songs it was clear it was going to be different from Ghosteen , Skeleton Tree and Push the Sky Away . This is maybe the first really 'rock' record I've played on. Maybe we created our own gospel music or something like that, but in an abstract way." [11] Bass guitarist Martyn P. Casey reflected, "Every album turns out different. Maybe Wild God is a resurgence of the Bad Seeds. [...] I guess the last few records have been off in some other land - they've been about Nick dealing with the awful things that have happened to him. But Nick always writes what he wants to write. There's no pandering to what's popular, even in what you might call alternative music. He's a singular kind of writer." [11]

Touring member Carly Paradis, who first joined the band on its 2022 tour, contributed whistling to the track, "O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)", stating: "I can whistle pretty good and I do bird calls. I'm from Canada, when I'm up North at my cottage, there's a certain bird I can call, a warbler, and it'll fly to me." [11]

Touring

On 15 March 2024, alongside the album's announcement, Cave revealed dates for a European arena tour beginning on 24 September in Oberhausen's Rudolf Weber-Arena and ending on 17 November in Paris' Accor Arena. The opening acts in mainland Europe were Dry Cleaning or The Murder Capital, while Black Country, New Road was named support in the United Kingdom, Dublin and Paris. [13]

On 6 September 2024, Cave announced 2025 North American dates for "The Wild God Tour", beginning 15 April in Boston's Agganis Arena and ending on 14 May in San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. It is the band's first North American tour since 2018. [14]

Critical reaction to Wild God was overwhelmingly positive. Metacritic gave the album a score of 89/100, which the website categorised as "universal acclaim". [15] Alexis Petridis, writing in The Guardian , gave Wild God five stars, stating "this masterpiece will make you fall back in love with life." Highlighting the unusually joyous nature of a Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album, he observed songs that "frequently surge into vast, ecstatic exhalations" with "Cave's extemporised vocal sounding increasingly rapturous over the top." He concluded, "Packed with remarkable songs, its mood of what you might call radical optimism is potent and contagious. You leave it feeling better than you did previously: an improving experience, in the best sense of the phrase." [18]

The Independent also gave the album five stars noting how Cave frequently "swings between doubt and faith." They observed that "Melodies flood through the music and then disappear like currents. Wild God can feel fathomless, but it leaves you buoyant." [19]

NME praised the record as the band's most upbeat offering in decades but still "coloured with the many shades of a life so challenging and weathered." They awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars, reserving particular praise for the song "O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)", describing it as one of Cave's "most masterful love songs" and ranking it alongside "Into My Arms".
