Seven Psalms

Description

With his new project Seven Psalms, Nick Cave presents a collection of sacred texts in spoken word with the collaboration of the very loyal Warren Ellis.
On June 17, Nick Cave will release Seven Psalms on a limited edition 10-inch vinyl. The new project includes seven spoken pieces set to music by Nick Cave in collaboration with Warren Ellis, as well as a 12-minute instrumental, recorded during the filming of Carnage. It was produced by Nick Cave with Luis Almau.
The outer cover evokes the cover of a hymn or prayer book, printed in embossed petrol blue with a title and a crucifix in the shape of jewelry rendered in metallic gold.
“While I was locked away, I wrote a number of psalms, or little sacred songs, one per day for a week. The seven psalms are presented as a long meditation on faith, rage, love, grief, pity, sex, and praise. A veiled, contemplative offering, born from uncertain times. I hope you will love it.” Nick Cave
