Kicking Against the Pricks

by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Kicking Against the Pricks cover art

Paying homage to their formative influences, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds released this eclectic, thoroughly reimagined collection of cover songs. The band transforms classic delta blues, gospel, and country tracks into dark, funereal dirges steeped in their signature post-punk aesthetic. It is a deeply sombre, romantic, and crucial stepping stone in Cave's evolution as a gothic storyteller.
