“It’s hard not to approach ‘Skeleton Tree’ as an album with an elephant in the room, a malevolent loiterer whose presence is liable to dominate and distort the listener’s entire field of vision. Nick Cave started work on his sixteenth Bad Seeds album well before the death of his 15 year-old son Arthur in July of last year, but whatever ‘Skeleton Tree’ was supposed to be, it’s now become his public ”
“Nick Cave has always played with death. Now, he confronts it.”
“Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds return with one of the most despondent albums in their discography.”
