Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Musical Group

Australian rock group led by singer-songwriter Nick Cave, formed in 1983; known for dark, literary songwriting that spans blues, post-punk, gospel and experimental sounds.

Longtime collaborators mentioned in the reviews include Warren Ellis, Mick Harvey, Blixa Bargeld, Martyn Casey and Thomas Wydler. Recurring themes in reviews: grief and mourning (notably on Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen), murder ballads, religious imagery, southern-gothic blues, and periods of reinvention from noisy early records to more minimal recent works.

DeBaser's reviews treat Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds as a long-running, evolving project: early blues-inflected horror and violence, later lapses into tenderness and religious imagery, and recent works focused on grief and minimalism. Reviewers praise songwriting, voice and reinventions across decades.

For:Fans of dark, literary rock; post-punk and blues listeners; readers of in-depth album criticism.

 The firstborn is dead... let the sky break, spew out its tears and dress in mourning this red earth.

 Nick Cave was probably (surely) the greatest rock star of the last thirty years.
