Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Ghosteen Ltd

On its 17th studio release, Ghosteen, alternative rock veterans Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds continue the progression toward more electronic and ambient territory, which began on its last release, Skeleton Tree. Drawing on the grief from the sudden and tragic loss of his 15-year-old son, Arthur, Cave and his collaborators produce the most ethereal, dreamy and cinematic work of their careers. While so much of Cave’s most well-known work is mired in the dark and morbid, Ghosteen captures Cave stepping out of the shadows and heavy themes intertwined with lush, celestial music. (Simon Weedn)
