Nick Cave is one of the most prominent artists of the past several decades.

On his recent trip to New York City, I was able to sit down with the legendary songwriter at the historic Electric Lady Studios to talk about the new Bad Seeds album, Wild God, for "The Alternate Side."

While Cave may seem to be an intimidating figure, he couldn't have been more generous with his time or more open in our conversation. We talked extensively about his songwriting process (and his dislike of it), the making of the new album, the impact his website, The Red Hand Files,  has had on him and his work, and much more.

It was a bucket list interview for me, for sure. Listen on demand via the player above.
