Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Start Low-Key Studio Sessions for Possible New Record

A brief post on Cave’s Red Hand Files blog frames the work as exploratory with no album plan in place.

Overview

Cave told fans on his Red Hand Files site that he was heading to an Islington studio to “mess around” on new ideas.
He said Martyn P. Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos and Warren Ellis would join him, and he noted that Casey and Wydler are well.
He called it a “vague idea” of perhaps making a record, which means there is no recording schedule or release to announce.
The group, whose last album Wild God arrived in 2024, has summer dates including a homecoming at Brighton’s Preston Park and major European festivals.
Recent side work includes Cave’s guest spot on Flea’s solo album and a new recording of Red Right Hand for Peaky Blinders, with a Conway Savage anthology due July 17.
