Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the garage rock aggression of Grinderman, Nick Cave returned to The Bad Seeds with 'Push the Sky Away', a masterpiece of restraint and atmosphere. The album is built on looping basslines, subtle electronics, and Warren Ellis's atmospheric violin loops, creating a hypnotic backdrop for Cave's abstract, observational lyrics. It is a moody, mysterious, and deeply poetic record that marked a new creative peak for the band.
