“The video was shot at The Criterion in Oklahoma City in October 2021, and was part of a session that captured three videos of Nell playing with the full band for the first time. Nell Smith and The Flaming Lips Share the Origins of Nick Cave Cover The Ship Song: Exclusive I picked Nick Cave, ’cause I love his music and lyrics, and I thought, ‘Nell probably doesn’t know very much of his music, and she might (because she has NO pre-conceived notions) just do something very simple, heartfelt and original.’ And… SHE DID!!” Doing cover songs is a fun way, in the very beginning, to get things rolling along. “Once the second song was done, I really felt that I might be able to do more, and so we continued choosing songs and kept the recording going.”Ĭoyne adds, “I think Nell and I just wanted to start to make some music and see what would happen. “It was really exciting to be recording a second song, as I wasn’t really sure how Wayne felt about the first one, so it gave me some confidence to keep going,” Smith tells Consequence. The latest preview from the upcoming joint project is Smith and The Flaming Lips’ rendition of 1990’s “The Ship Song” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, which Consequence is premiering exclusively today (November 10th). Not only has she stayed in contact with Coyne, but they have become close collaborators, recording an album of Nick Cave covers together.īack in September, Smith - who hails from Fernie in British Colombia, Canada - and The Flaming Lips offered up the lead single “Girl in Amber,” which featured Smith flipping Cave’s original ballad into a hushed bedroom-pop jam. But after meeting frontman Wayne Coyne following the band’s 2018 headlining show in Calgary, the 13-year-old musician has been living the dream. Three years ago, Nell Smith was just another fan of The Flaming Lips. Today, 13-year-old Nell Smith and The Flaming Lips break down their cover of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ “The Ship Song.” Our recurring new music feature Origins offers artists the chance to share their personal insights into their latest release.

I hadn’t heard of Nick Cave but Wayne suggested that we should start with an album of his cover versions, and then look at recording some of my own songs later. It was a really steep learning curve but Wayne was so encouraging when I was struggling with a few of the songs that I kept going. Smith added, “I still can’t really believe it. It was a great way to connect with her and help harness her cool attitude to making music.” “With Nell we could see she is on a journey and thought it would be fun to join her for a while and see if we could get things going. “It’s always great to meet excited, young creative people,” the Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne said in a statement. The album was mastered by Dave Fridmann at Tarbox Road Studios.
It’s comprised of nine Cave cover versions with vocals and instrumentation by 14-year-old Nell Smith and instrumentation and production by the Flaming Lips. The musicians released Where the Viaduct Looms in November. Nell and the Flaming Lips appeared on The Late Show for a joint performance of their collaborative Nick Cave cover “Red Right Hand.” The song, off their recent Cave tribute album Where the Viaduct Looms, took on a psychedelic vibe in the clip.
