Nick Cave and the Bad SeedsFrom Her to Eternity
$30.00Call to Order
Gaunt and feverish, this plays like a tent-revival haunted house: scraped-metal percussion, hammered dissonant piano, and Blixa Bargeld's shrieking guitar leaving ragged gaps for Cave's preacher bellow. The title track lurches to an obsessive crescendo about a man consumed by the woman upstairs. "Avalanche" warps Leonard Cohen into a scraping dirge, and "A Box for Black Paul" sinks into slow, gospel-tinged dread. Cave's 1984 debut and the cornerstone of everything that followed. Drop the needle and meet the man.
