They don’t come much more influential than Nick Cave.

The Australian’s career has spanned decades, birthed more than a few seminal albums and inspired generation of off-the-wall songwriters – he’s a legend.

Today, the artist announced the release of a new double album for next Friday.

Entitled Ghosteen, the LP will be released under the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds moniker.

The artist made his announcement through his Red Hand Files website, in which he often directly addresses the questions of his audience.

“It is a double album.

Part 1 comprises of eight songs.

The Spinning Song
Bright Horses
Waiting For You
Night Raid
Sun Forest

Part 2 consists of two long songs, linked by a spoken word piece.
