Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Essentials

A man whose sound is hard to pin down but is always instantly recognizable, Nick Cave is a true master of melancholy. Perfectly encapsulating the changing nature of human emotion, Cave crafts songs that manage to be both menacing and fun, terrifying but endearing, depressing but relatable. In the wake of The Birthday Party's breakup, Cave formed The Bad Seeds, a project that over the last three decades has enabled him to push himself to his creative limits and further define him as one of the finest songwriters of his generation.
