For me, lockdown feels like a state-mandated version of more of the same - a formalization of the kind of hermit-like behaviour to which I've always been predisposed, and so, as difficult as it has been to see the devastation and anguish caused by the pandemic - including to the lives of those close to me, and many who have written into The Red Hand Files - I have been doing okay.Ĭave further explained that spending time at home has offered him the chance to be creative, though he misses the road dearly, describing himself as "a thing that tours."

"As promised in my last issue, I did go into the studio - with Warren - to make a record," Cave explained. But Cave revealed his plans in his latest blog post on The Red Hand Files, offering the record's title, but not much else.
The record has yet to receive an official release date, and few other details about the effort are known. Published Nick Cave has announced plans to release a new album titled Carnage, recorded with longtime collaborator Warren Ellis.
