Nick Cave Announces New Spoken-Word Album With Warren Ellis

Nick Cave will release a new spoken-word album on 10" vinyl and streaming services on June 17. Seven Psalms comprises seven spoken tracks that Cave set to music in collaboration with Warren Ellis, plus a 12-minute instrumental from the sessions for the pair’s 2021 album Carnage. Cave produced the album with Luis Almau. Watch a trailer below.

In a press release, Cave wrote: “While in lockdown I wrote a number of psalms, or small, sacred songs—one a day for a week. The seven psalms are presented as one long meditation—on faith, rage, love, grief, mercy, sex, and praise. A veiled, contemplative offering borne of an uncertain time. I hope you like it.”
