Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Push the Sky Away LP Vinyl Record

Veteran singer/songwriter and his longtime backing band, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ 2013 release “Push the Sky Away” was produced by Nick Launay and recorded at La Fabrique, a studio based in a 19th Century mansion in the South of France. At it heart of the album is a naturalism and warmth that makes it the most subtly beautiful of all the Bad Seeds albums. The contemporary settings of myths, and the cultural references that have time-stamped Nick’s songs of the twenty-first century mist lightly through details drawn from the life he observed around his seaside home, through the tall windows on the album’s mysterious and ambiguous cover.

The songs on “Push The Sky Away” took form in a modest notebook with shellac covers over the course of almost a year. These songs convey how on the internet, profoundly significant events, momentary fads and mystically-tinged absurdities sit side-by-side and question how we might recognise and assign weight to what’s genuinely important. The album has a clarity and sweet strangeness that’s built upon the refusal to accept limitations, whether they be the traditional uses and sounds of musical instruments, lyric styles, or diminished spiritual horizons.

Pressed on Classic Black Vinyl.
