Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: Wild God [PIAS]
Nick Cave is blunt in his assessment of his new Bad Seeds album, Wild God. “There’s no fucking around with this record,” he’s said. “When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it.” He’s also proud of the singles. “The sheer exuberance of a song like ‘Frogs,’” he exclaimed. “It just puts a big fucking smile on my face.” Set aside four and a half minutes for “Frogs,” and 40 more for the full album, to see if you, too, are grinning like the ebullient man you see pictured above.
