Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Carnage CD/LP

"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.
