Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Reveal First Single From 'Skeleton Tree'

Staff Writer

The album drops next week

More Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Ahead of next week's release of the highly anticipated Skeleton Tree, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have unveiled the band's first new single, a track called Jesus Alone.

Jesus Alone has arrived with an official video too, a black-and-white video similar to the band's upcoming feature film One More Time With Feeling. The dark, pained song is a taste of things to come from the album, created in the aftermath of Cave's teenage son's untimely death.

The band have also extended screening times for One More Time With Feeling from only the day prior to release to all weekend — you can now catch the film on 8, 9, 10 and 11 September.
