Nick Cave & The Bad SeedsPush the Sky Away
$22.00Call to Order
Funeral-paced and candlelit, Cave half-mutters over looping electronic drones, brushed percussion and Warren Ellis's haunted strings. "Jubilee Street" swells from a hushed twelve-string murmur into a shivering crescendo, while "Higgs Boson Blues" sprawls into seven minutes of apocalyptic fever dream, dragging Robert Johnson, Hannah Montana and the God particle into the same slow blues. The first album without Mick Harvey, it traded rock thrust for spectral, weightless menace. Drop the needle and the room goes quiet.
