Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: wild God [PIAS]
Nick Cave is blunt in his assessment of his new album Bad Seeds, wild God. “There's nobody fucked with this record,” he said. “When it hits, it hits. It lifts you up. It moves you. I like that about it.” He is also proud of the singles. “The sheer exuberance of a song like 'Frogs,'” he exclaimed. “It just puts a big fucking smile on my face.” Spend four and a half minutes on “Frogs” and another 40 minutes on the full album to see if you, too, are smiling like the irritating man in the image above.
