Nick Cave Announces New Project 'Seven Psalms'

"The seven psalms are presented as one long meditation - on faith, rage, love, grief, mercy, sex and praise."

More Nick Cave Nick Cave Profile

Nick Cave has announced the release of his forthcoming project Seven Pslams, which will feature seven spoken word pieces by Cave with music by Warren Ellis

The tracklist will also feature a 12-minute instrumental that was recorded during their Carnage album sessions.

The record will be released as a limited edition, 10" vinyl via his personal store.

On the album, Cave said, "While in lockdown I wrote a number of psalms, or small, sacred songs - one a day for a week. The seven psalms are presented as one long meditation - on faith, rage, love, grief, mercy, sex and praise. A veiled, contemplative offering borne of an uncertain time. I hope you like it."

Alongside the record, Cave and Ellis are set to star in This Much I Know To Be True next month, which is a companion piece to 2016's One More Time With Feeling, both directed by Andrew Dominik. The documentary will explore Cave and Ellis' creative relationship.
