“I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me,” Cave said in a statement. “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.”
Cave began writing Wild God on the first day of 2023. It’s produced by Cave and Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann. It has contributions from Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood as well as Luis Almau.
