I found Nick back in my freshman year of college, through Harry Potter no less. His song O’ Children was featured in the seventh
installment (part one) of the ten-year series and, me being the person that I
am, I Googled all the lyrics I could remember. So I bought the song. And then I
found Spotify and listened to every single album Cave and the Seeds put out.
I
was obsessed passionate.
Fast forward a few years, and Nick
Cave releases his 15th studio album, Push The Sky Away. The whole
album is a bit like a bad trip. It’s dark and a bit depressing, but the
inflection Cave puts into each song when he sings literally paints the song
into a story before your very eye/brain. Each song, on its lonesome, is
fantastic. Songs tell stories and each of these nine songs does just that. But
when you put them together, the album tells an even greater story. Cave has
left little to prove. Instead of
describing each song and (unfairly) comparing this album to his previous ones
or to some obscure musician you don’t care about, I’m going to tell you to go
listen to it. Then I’m going to tell you to go buy it.
Believe me, it’s good.
