Nick Cave & Warren Ellis Drop ‘Carnage’
To mark the global release of Carnage, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis have recorded a very special conversation together, in which they answer questions from fans about their new album, out on vinyl and CD.
The pre-recorded audio conversation is available online following the streaming event www.nickcave.com/
Carnage was recorded by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, over a period of weeks during lockdown. Although the pair have composed and 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,” said Ellis. “The eight songs were there in one form or another within the first two and a half days.”
