Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds late last week premiered the official video for “We No Who U R,” the first single off the band’s upcoming 15th studio album. As you can see from the clip posted above, the Gaspar Noé-directed video is fairly minimalist, tracking a shadow through a forest. ‘Push the Sky Away’ arrives Feb. 18.

A day after announcing an Australian tour and debuting their new single, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are back with even more good news for fans: The band today unveiled a 12-date North American tour that will take place next March and April in support of the group’s 15th studio album, ‘Push the Sky Away.’

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ 15th studio album, Push the Sky Away, doesn’t arrive until mid-February, but the band today premiered the record’s first single, “We No Who U R,” via Rolling Stone — and you can hear the track rigth here. The single goes on sale this week in advance of the full album’s arrival Feb. 18.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds today announced they will release their 15th studio album next February, a nine-track collection titled ‘Push the Sky Away’ that Cave, on the band’s website, says has a sound and feel that “just seems new, you know, but new in an old school kind of way.”

This week’s new releases include the final batch of expanded 2CD reissues from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (including ‘Nocturama,’ ‘Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus’ and ‘Dig!!!

A treasure trove of early ’80s concert footage shot at New Order’s legendary club FAC51 The Hacienda soon will make its way online thanks to a deal by Ikon — Factory Records’ video spinoff — to provide its remaining archive of performances to Peter Hook’s site fac51thehacienda.com.
