Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have announced details of their forthcoming new album.

It's called 'Skeleton Tree' and is the band's 16th studio album and their first since 2013's 'Push the Sky Away'.

The album will be accompanied by a "stark, fragile and raw" documentary film, which will be screened in cinemas worldwide on September 8th. The album will then be released on September 9th.

One of the Irish cinemas that will be screening the film is the Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin's Smithfield, which will screen both the 2D and 3D versions at 9pm on the 8th.

It's described as a live performance of the album "interwoven with interviews and footage and accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination” that delves into "the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album".

Cave's teenage son Arthur died tragically after falling from a cliff near Brighton last summer, while under the influence of LSD.
