Your Funeral… My Trial

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

A masterwork of gothic cabaret and heroin-hued blues. Nick Cave trades the chaos of his early years for a sophisticated, predatory elegance.

It's like a beautiful, terrifying funeral march played in a dive bar at the end of the world.

A sophisticated, predatory elegance that balances between a romantic sigh and a violent threat.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The funeral-march organ on the title track that feels like a slow descent into a velvet-lined grave.
The sudden, violent shift in vocal intensity during Hard On for Love where Cave sounds truly possessed.
The way the piano on Sad Waters ripples like cold river water against a skeletal drum beat.
