Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Ghosteen

October 4, 2019 - Ghosteen Ltd.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds will break your heart. The instrumentation and supporting vocals are minimal, repetitive, ambient, hymnal—a backdrop on a stage with lights that flow with ceremonious cadence from one color to another, painting mood underneath the honesty of Cave’s vocals, creating space for him to share something rare and dear. And Nick Cave sings unfiltered of being inescapably caught in a pattern of loss, where visions of fairytale-like characters in a flowery, idyllic paradise dissolve when he pulls them too close. And it is a beautiful, vulnerable narrative of grief. ☔
