Our Take

Intriguing, enigmatic, and utterly haunting, NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS' latest offering, Skeleton Tree, is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. From the brooding opener "Jesus Alone" to the ethereal closer "Skeleton Tree", Cave's signature baritone commands attention, drawing listeners into a world of darkness and beauty.

The album's production, courtesy of longtime collaborator Warren Ellis, is nothing short of mesmerising, with layer upon layer of sound weaving together to create a sonic tapestry that is as unsettling as it is breathtaking. Tracks like "Girl in Amber" and "I Need You" showcase Cave's poetry at its most visceral, while "Distant Sky" sees him joined by the haunting vocals of Danish singer Else Torp.

Skeleton Tree is not an easy listen - it's raw, emotional, and at times almost unbearably intense. But it's also a testament to Cave's strength as a songwriter and performer, his ability to turn pain and loss into something truly transcendent. This is music that demands to be heard, that lingers in the mind long after the final notes have faded away.

In short, Skeleton Tree is a triumph, a fitting addition to the Bad Seeds' already impressive discography. Nick Cave & co. have once again proven that they are in a league of their own, creating music that is both timeless and utterly contemporary. Do yourself a favour and dive into the darkness - you won't regret it.
