Nick Cave & Warren Ellis

In their first ever North American tour as a duo, Cave and Ellis will play 17 shows across the continent this March and April, following the release of their acclaimed album CARNAGE and a run of phenomenal shows across the UK and Europe in Fall 2021. While they have composed and recorded soundtracks together, and Ellis is a long-term member of The Bad Seeds, CARNAGE is the first entire album of songs the pair have released.

CARNAGE, by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, was recorded over a period of weeks during the lockdown. Nick 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 Warren 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.
