Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have announced details of their 15th studio album: Push the Sky Away will be released in February (18 in the UK, February 19 in the U.S.) That's the artwork above. The first single to be taken from the follow-up to 2008's Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!, "We No Who U R", will be available from December 3. Watch a tense trailer for the album below, featuring footage of the band recording. "This is one of those nasty ballads!" Cave exclaims at one point.

Push the Sky Away is, according to a release, the most "subtly beautiful" of all the Bad Seeds' albums. It was produced by Nick Launay and recorded at La Fabrique, a studio ensconsed within a 19th century mansion in south France. "Well, if I were to use that threadbare metaphor of albums being like children, then Push the Sky Away is the ghost-baby in the incubator and Warren's [Ellis] loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat," wrote Cave.

The Bad Seeds are Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos, and Conway Savage. Check out the album's tracklist below, followed by the trailer.
