Release Date: 8th November 2019
Mr Cave and his Bad(ass) Seeds are back with their 17th outing and the follow-up to 2016's exceptional Skeleton Tree. Following on from the sparse, haunting beauty of Skeleton Tree, Ghosteen digs deeper into the darkest reaches of the groups powers. Split into two albums, the first from the perspective of children and the second for their parents - Cave grieves from his well documented loss throughout in what is some of the most moving music you are likely to hear. There will be tears!
FFO: Warren Ellis, Ratso, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Greg Dulli
"‘The songs on the first album are the children. The songs on the second album are their parents. Ghosteen is a migrating spirit.’ - Nick Cave.

It was mixed by Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Lance Powell and Andrew Dominik at Conway in Los Angeles.
