NICK CAVE
LP
PUSH THE SKY AWAY
VINYL
SEALED !
+ FULL DOWNLOADS
At the heart of Push the Sky Away 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 this album took form in a
modest notebook with shellac covers over the course of
almost a year. The notebook is a treasured analogue artefact
but the internet is equally important to Nick: Googling
curiosities, being entranced by exotic Wikipedia entries
"whether they're true or not". 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. It's not
always apparent what instruments the band is playing:
they may be traditional musical instruments but other
sounds are clearly generated by objects unrelated to
musical instruments. What's being created is a collective
musical language that's rich and complex.
"Well, if I were to use that threadbare metaphor of albums
being like children, then Push The Sky Away is the ghost-baby
in the incubator and Warren's loops are its tiny,
trembling heart-beat." Nick Cave
