My heart leapt a little today when I saw that Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds have a new album (and film) ready to go on 9th September – Skeleton Tree.
After the tragic death of his son and prolonged silence online, understandably, I feared a longer break from the music biz than this. The last album was a belter, you can’t help wonder if this will be quiet meditations or fire and brimstone catharsis. Whatever it is it won’t be boring.
I just hope that whatever he has created, either the process and/or the outcome, has given him and his family some comfort and solace. I feel slightly awkward and uncomfortable in looking forward to, and probably getting pleasure from, the product of such a devastating event.
indeed.
Thanks for the alert – the last one was indeed a belted.
