About the Experience
The listening experience program will begin with a series of carefully curated audio pieces featuring Nick Cave, drawn from his thoughtful Q&A exchanges and behind-the-scenes moments with the Bad Seeds. Following these intimate discussions, participants are invited to listen to the ten track album. The experience takes place in near-darkness, allowing participants to surrender to the music without any other distractions. Presented in English, with French transcriptions available on-site (for the exchange), each piece invites listeners to a contemplative and immersive experience.
About the Album
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are one of the world’s most exciting, influential, innovative and compelling bands. Driven by a continuous creative evolution, their music displays a diverse, often contradictory range of styles. Across 18 studio albums, they have consistently reinvented their sound, and their latest, Wild God (2024), is no exception.
Moving away from the more interior quality of their recent output, Wild God bursts with life as it embraces the warmth of the Bad Seeds reconnected. Across ten tracks, the band dances between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives.
Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT), the album boasts additional performances from Colin Greenwood (bass) and Luis Almau (nylon string guitar) that add color to an already abundant palette.
