Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 15th studio album (and first since 2008's Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!), Push the Sky Away, gets a release date: Feb. 18 in the UK, 19 in the US. The album, which reunites the Bad Seeds with producer Nick Launay (previous collaborations include Nocturama, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!), is described as "subtly beautiful," according to a press release issued by the band. Cave further described the aesthetic: "Well, 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 [Ellis] loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat."
