After a period of personal upheaval, the famed Bad Seeds singer returns with the vibrant and optimistic 'Wild God'
At first, the word 'joy' seems incongruous when mentioned in the same sentence as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. For a good part of his career as the band's singer and namesake leader, Cave famously inhabited the persona of a dark, intimidating and tortured artist whose turbulent lyrics tackled topics such as religion, relationships and mortality.
In a fitting full-circle moment, Wild God's arrival coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Bad Seeds' debut album, From Her to Eternity, recorded and released after the dissolution of the Birthday Party. 'No, I didn't think in those terms anyway,' he says about the band's longevity.
