I've yet to hear a single album by him. I suppose I could start here.
― pomenitul, Monday, 23 September 2019 11:44 (four years ago) link
Hmm, I'm not sure any one album is the definitive "one to start with," but (having not heard it), I'm not sure this album is that one.

This does seem like potentially a weird time to check in with no foreknowledge, yes.

I went to the Q&A Friday night and he totally denied they were working on a new album. I guess if it was already in the can he might have been technically truthful.

wonder just how long the two long songs are, presumably quite a bit since they make up half the album
intrigued and looking forward to this
― ufo, Monday, 23 September 2019 12:41 (four years ago) link
Fantastic news!
I absolutely love the cover. It's different to both but makes me think of the cover of the last Andrew W.K. album You're Not Alone and the photo that was recently released from the forthcoming H. P. Lovecraft The Colour Out Of Space adaptation with Nicolas Cage.

As always with a new NC & the Bad Seeds I'm curious to find out who constitutes the Seeds this time around, other than BFF Ellis obv, I suppose I can wait a week
On first blush I don't love the title, the artwork though is bonkers two thumbs up

The band I was in for our last record we typed in a couple of keywords into Google image search and like the 2nd hit was a crazy/great painting and we emailed the dude and viola that's what we used.
I sincerely hope that's what Nick did.

Yeah I knew their other relationship but that's interesting, I wonder if there is any film element or if it relates to the spoken bit.I checked out from the Bad Seeds when the Harvey / Bargeld era transitioned to the Ellis era but I might give this a listen.

Saw the three-hour Q&A last night, and it’s definitely worth seeing if you can.
The questions kind of fell between Tony Robbins (questions from people grieving and dealing with addiction) to Kevin Smith (what song would you play if playing one song would save the planet? A: “Babe, I’m on Fire” continuously).
Cave on solo piano was as intense as a Bad Seeds show in its energy, and the public intimacy and vulnerability of the whole thing (more from the women than the men, in their questions) made for a really memorable night.

natural progression from the past couple of records. lovely microkorg work. typically gaudy and perfectly cliched, lyrically.
― meaulnes, Thursday, 3 October 2019 21:17 (four years ago) link
so far it sounds like the NMSWP to Skeleton Tree's Boatman's Call, if that makes any sense. more ornate and elaborate extension of the same general vibe

I don't think so? But he did play a couple of rocking hits on tour, iirc, which seemed kind of weird and obvious compared to the quieter introspective stranger new stuff.

It would be pretty funny if Grinderman 3 turned out to be another album of synthy drumless ballads
