Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Troye Sivan are among the Aussie artists nominated for Grammy Awards next year.
Another remarkable album from this remarkable Australian and his remarkable band.
'Frogs' is the second single from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ upcoming album, 'Wild God'.
'Wild God' is a ten-track “complicated” album, but “it seems we’re happy,” Nick Cave said.
"I am happy when I am described as an ‘Australian’ musician... I still argue that The Saints started punk rock."
The iconic rocker will perform solo, accompanied by Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood on bass guitar.
"I am now back in the studio finishing the new Bad Seeds record."
"Writing lyrics is the pits. It’s like jumping for frogs. It’s the sh*ts. It’s the bogs. It actually hurts."
"It seems more relaxed, even a bit nonsensical in places, but with some beautiful songs throughout."
As shared by Cave on his 'The Red Right Hand Files' today.
