The release of the latest album from the troubled mind of Nick Cave is now slated for February 18, 2013 and while Push The Sky Away is being credited to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, without the participation of key players Mick Harvey – who left the group in January 2009 after 25 years – and Blixa Bargeld who split in 2003 – it's essentially a new Grinderman album with slightly less facial hair.
Joining Cave on the purported follow-up to 2008's Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! will be his entire Grinderman crew including multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis on violin, flute, tenor guitar and synths, Martyn Casey on bass, percussionist Jim Sclavunos along with Thomas Wydler on drums and former Bad Seeds keyboardist Conway Savage only contributing vocals. Furthermore, Push The Sky Away was recorded with Grinderman producer Nick Launay at Studios La Fabrique, a residential facility set in a grand 19th Century French mansion in bucolic Saint-Rémy de Provence.
The first song to appear from the nine-track album will be We No Who U R – available for download December 3 from your digital retailer of choice or get it gratis when you pre-order Push The Sky Away on CD, limited CD-DVD, vinyl, digital via nickcave.com. Check out the trailer below...
