Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have announced details of a new album ‘Skeleton Tree’ and an accompanying film ‘One More Time With Feeling’.
Their sixteenth studio album, the full-length will be released on 9th September, with the first new material from the record aired on September 8th, when ‘One More Time With Feeling’ will be screened in more than 650 cinemas around the world.
Originally planned as a performance film, ‘One More Time With Feeling’ is described as having “evolved into something much more significant” as director Andrew Dominik “delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album”
“Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination,” a press release explains. “Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness.”
