Nick Cave and Warren Ellis will release a new live album, Australian Carnage – Live at the Sydney Opera House, this Friday, August 25. The album collects recordings from their performances at the venue from December 16 to 18 last year during the Carnage tour. An abridged version will come out on vinyl on December 1. Hear “Balcony Man (Live at the Sydney Opera House)” below.
Cave said in a statement, “Touring Australia with Warren after so much time away was one of the highlights of recent years. Every show was moving and unforgettable, from the intimacy of playing in theatres and arts centres, to the vast and uplifting nights at Hanging Rock, through to our final three nights at the inimitable Sydney Opera House. We are excited to share these recordings, made at the Sydney Opera House, and hope they capture even a tenth of the collective elation we felt at those shows. We’ll never forget them.”
