NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS released their 13th album
a week ago. WILD GOD is without a shadow of a doubt one
of their best.

Cave: “There’s no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves
you. I love that about it. I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a master plan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played
them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”

New record. New tours.

LOL TOLHURST & BUDGIE Play THE CURE Live On KEXP

Former The Cure member Lol Tolhurst, former Siouxsie And The Banshees
drummer Budgie, and Irish producer Jacknife Lee got together for last
year’s striking album Los Angeles featuring several guest vocalists.

Tolhurst and Budgie went out this year to promote the LP. Last June they stopped
at the KEXP studios in Seattle. Along with bassist Liam Hayden they played a short
set, including The Cure‘s 1980 classic A Forest which Tolhurst has a songwriting
credit for. A couple of days ago footage of that moment was put online. No idea
who the female voice is.

A Magical Night With BIG THIEF In A Green Park In Antwerp, Belgium

Posted on by JL

19 August 2024

Last Wednesday, Brooklyn‘s pop-folk dreamers BIG THIEF
played in the beautiful park Rivierenhof in Antwerp, Belgium.

Frontwoman/songwriter Adrienne Lenker, who released her 6th, widely praised solo
LP Bright Future last March, drew all attention with her heartfelt and poignant voice.

The set consisted mostly of new songs, but as it were vintage Big Thief, mixed
emotions musings, they all were received with much approval of the enthusiastic
crowd.

Here’s one of the new ones, titled Taker.

My favourite one of the 90-minute set was Vampire Empire which they
started playing live last year. An acoustic version of the song is on her
new solo album.

A funny thing happened when they ended the show with a steamy newbie named Incomprehensible. When the band returned for 2 encores, they played that song again,
but much slower.

Lenker explained that they wanted it to play it again, but slower, as it should be done, because the first time was too fast on purpose because she needed to pee urgently. Laughter all over the place. To end a magical night in a green surrounding, they
rocked out with Grandmother, also a new piece.

One small negative remark. I was a bit disappointed because BT didn’t perform one
of their most gripping songs ever, Change from their latest album Drag New Warm Mountain I Believe In You which came out two years ago. I’m pretty sure they didn’t
it because they played that ‘Incomprehensible‘ one twice.

A diamond of a ballad.
