Notes from the master: new album from Nick Cave to drop February 2013

Early this morning a video trailer for Push the Sky Away, the upcoming album from seminal musicians Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds was released on YouTube. The first album since 2008's Dig Lazarus Dig! (and the first album since Mick Harvey's departure) Push the Sky Away is described by Cave in an official statement as:

"If I were to use that threadbare metaphor of albums being like children, then Push The Sky Away is the ghost-baby in the incubator and Warren's loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat." 

Track listing for the album will be as follows:

We No Who U R
Wide Lovely Eyes
Water's Edge
Jubilee Street
Mermaids
We Real Cool
Finishing Jubilee Street
Higgs Boson Blues
Push The Sky Away

This latest update comes on the heels of last weeks preliminary dates for the bands tour in support of Push the Sky Away, which will include The Coachella Music Festival as well as Humphrey's Concerts By The Sea in San Diego, California on April 16, 2013 according to NME.com.

Push the Sky Away is scheduled to drop  February 18, 2013.  For more information on the album check out the trailer below, and then go to nickcave.com for pre-order information.
