In 2013, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds released their album Push the Sky Away<\/i>, as well as a live collection called Live From KCRW<\/i>. Since then,Cave wrote a book, The Sick Bag Song<\/i>\u00a0(originally written by hand on airplane sick bags) in 2015, but the last Bad Seeds song is 2014\u2019s \u201cGive Us a Kiss\u201d from the film 20,000 Days on Earth<\/i>. Now, it appears the band are coming back with a new album later this year, according to a listing on the Laemmle Theatres website\u00a0(as reader Jon Daviespoints out).<\/p>\n
It lists a currently untitled film, which will premiere September 8 and document the band performing songs from their new album, which is scheduled for release the following day, September 9. The listing also indicates that the film will be the first time any of the songs from the album are available to hear, as Cave & the Bad Seeds have no plans to release singles from the record. Laemmle offered a description of the album and film:<\/p>\n
“The record has an intimacy and starkness that the film\u2019s photographic style will reflect. It will be shot in black and white, color and 3-D. The idea is to create an experience that is immersive but also elegant, that feels both immediate and archival”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
