Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have announced that they will release their new album, Wild God, on Friday 30 August and have unveiled the title track.
Announcing the album, Cave said: "I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it's had on me.
"It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It's a complicated record, but it's also deeply and joyously infectious.
"There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don't know, it seems we're happy."
Wild God was produced by Cave and bandmate Warren Ellis and mixed by David Fridmann (Mercury Rev, Mogwai).
"When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you. I love that about it," said Cave of the album.
The full tracklisting is:
1) Song of the Lake
2) Wild God
3) Frogs
4) Joy
5) Final Rescue Attempt
6) Conversion
