Warren Ellis Archives

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are collaborating together yet again. The duo announced their upcoming spoken-word record, Seven Songs. Seven Songs was recorded during the same time as the duo's 2021 Carnage, but instead of pure music, according to a statement, the new record will feature "seven spoken word pieces set to music." The album is out June 17 and is available for pre-order. "While in lockdown I wrote a number of psalms, or small, sacred songs — one a day for a week," Cave says. "The seven psalms are presented as one long meditation — on faith, rage, love, grief, mercy, sex and praise. A strange, contemplative offering borne of an uncertain time. I hope you like it." Seven Songs will be pressed on 10" vinyl, with all the spoken-word tracks on one side and a 12-minute instrumental on the other. Cave and Ellis are fresh off their North American tour in support of Carnage, and are gearing up to release their concert film, This Much I Know To Be True. Seven Songs Track List 1 “How Long Have I Waited?” 2 “Have Mercy On Me” 3 “I Have Trembled My Way Deep” 4 “I Have Wandered All My Unending Days” 5 “Splendour, Glorious Splendour” 6 “Such Things Should Never Happen” 7 “I Come Alone And To You” 8 “Psalm Instrumental”
