Lockdown instances have led to many changes in the music industry -- one of which includes new experimental and collaborative projects. One of the latter includes an upcoming full-length album by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, titled Carnage.
Ellis is a long-term member of Cave's backing band, The Bad Seeds, but Carnage marks his first album as a duo with just Cave.
Created in lockdown, “Making Carnage was an accelerated process of intense creativity,” Ellis says of the process. "The eight songs were there in one form or another within the first two and a half days.”
Carnage is available now digitally, with a CD and vinyl release scheduled for April 28 via Goliath Records.

Neurosis member and prolific artistist Steve Von Till has announced two new albums to come soon. One is an ambient album titled A Deep Voiceless Wilderness and the other is a spoken word poetry collection titled Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems.
A Deep Voiceless Wilderness is described as "An achingly beautiful ambient work with neo-classical leanings, the album is a hallucinatory and elegant rumination on our disconnect from the natural world, each other, and ultimately ourselves."
Get a feel for it with first single, "The Emptiness Will Swallow Us All" (below).
Notably, it's also Von Till's first record where he does not play guitar, instead using varied instrumentation such as piano, cello, mellotron and analog synthesizers.
Harvestman features Von Till reading from his previously published book, Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems and Collected Lyrics. Both albums will release on Neurot Recordings on April 30.
