Seven Psalms features seven psalms written by Cave, set to music recorded with his long-time collaborator Warren Ellis.

“The seven psalms are presented as one long meditation—on faith, rage, love, grief,
mercy, sex and praise. A veiled, contemplative offering borne of an uncertain time,” explains Cave.

Seven Psalms will be released on limited 10”, and comes with a Psalms Prayer Card.

It follows Cave’s last album, Carnage.
