NICK CAVE & WARREN ELLIS RELEASE CARNAGE ALBUM

Although the pair have composed & recorded many soundtracks together, and Ellis is a long-term member of The Bad Seeds, this is the first time they have released an entire album of songs as a duo.

Cave describes the album as “a brutal but very beautiful record nested in a communal catastrophe.”

“Making Carnage was an accelerated process of intense creativity,” says Ellis, “the eight songs were there in one form or another within the first two and a half days.”

Cave & Ellis’ sonic and lyrical adventurism continues apace on Carnage, an al-bum that emerged almost by accident out of the downtime created by the long, anxious, global emergency. Carnage is a record for these uncertain times

–                  one shot through with moments of distilled beauty and that resonates with an almost defiant sense of hope.

Tracks: Hand of God / Old Time / Carnage / White Elephant / Albuquerque /Lavender Fields / Shattered Ground / Balcony Man
