Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will on Feb. 19th release their first studio album, Push the Sky Away, since 2008’s Dig, Lazurus, Dig!  It’s been far too long.  The record’s first single We No Who U R now has an official video.  The song opens musically like Bon Iver and then vocally a la Interpol/Blue Nile (OK, Nick Cave minus the hector and snarl), and the text-speak song-title is only a shorthand semaphore for classic, menacing Cave: “We know who you are, we know who you live, and there is no need to forgive.”  The song sets the stage for a great album from the band.  Listen/watch the new video (and watch its accompanying lyric video after).
