This is the NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS week on radio TANGRA MEGA ROCK.
The new album Entitled Ghosteen has just been released.
In 2015, CAVE’s 15-year-old son, Arthur, died after falling from a cliff in Brighton, UK. The band’s ensuing album, 2016’s Skeleton Tree, was heavily inspired by Arthur’s death, and it appears the same can be said about Ghosteen.
Cave’s wife, Susie Bick, previously said her husband’s new album were “his Fever Songs.” She explained that the songs stemmed from “an autumn flu” which produced “lucid fever dreams.”
