VICE Meets: Nick Cave    

In a new episode of VICE Meets, we sit down with Nick Cave to talk about the release of his new book, The Sick Bag Song.

The book was written by Cave as he and the Bad Seeds undertook a mammoth tour of 22 cities across America, and in it you can feel all the exhaustion, romantic longing, musings, memories, and moments of significance such a marathon entails. It's an epic poem, written—quite literally, on sick bags—in the manner of The Wasteland meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Here, on an empty airplane, VICE's John Doran talks to Cave about his wife, his home, and his childhood, the "dreaded" act of songwriting, and his artistic influences—from American poet John Berryman, right through to the Bible.

Cave's book will be available exclusively from thesickbagsong.com, in all kinds of special editions and formats.

Nick Cave's teenage son killed in Brighton cliff fall
 
Arthur Cave named by police as person in Ovingdean incident
 

DAVID RENSHAW, 15TH JULY 2015

 
Arthur Cave, 15, was identified by Sussex Police after a body was found at 6pm last night (July 14). The Argus reports that he was found on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap. 
 
Members of the public reportedly carried out first aid on the teenager before he was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton where he died of his injuries.
 
The death is now being handled by the coroner's officer and is not being treated as suspicious. Friends reportedly gathered to pay tribute to Arthur at the nearby Ovingdean Undercliff Cafe. 
 
His family are expected to make a statement later today.
 
The teenager is one of Cave's two sons with wife Susie Bick. He and his brother, Earl, both appeared in Cave's 2014 biopic 20,000 Days On Earth.

The currently untitled project is the band’s first album since 2013
 
In 2013, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds released their album Push the Sky Away, as well as a live collection called Live From KCRW. Since then, Cave wrote a book, The Sick Bag Song (originally written by hand on airplane sick bags) in 2015, but the last Bad Seeds song is 2014’s “Give Us a Kiss” from the film 20,000 Days on Earth. Now, it appears the band are coming back with a new album later this year, according to a listing on the Laemmle Theatres website (as reader Jon Davies points out).
 
It lists a currently untitled film, which will premiere September 8 and document the band performing songs from their new album, which is scheduled for release the following day, September 9. The listing also indicates that the film will be the first time any of the songs from the album are available to hear, as Cave & the Bad Seeds have no plans to release singles from the record. Laemmle offered a description of the album and film:
 
The record has an intimacy and starkness that the film’s photographic style will reflect. It will be shot in black and white, color and 3-D. The idea is to create an experience that is immersive but also elegant, that feels both immediate and archival.
 
Pitchfork has reached out to Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ reps for more information.
