Carnage Vinyl LP 24 Page Booklet

Carnage is a new album by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, recorded over a period of weeks during lockdown. 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 album 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.
