About this album

Skeleton Tree is a stark, devastating late-period highlight from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and one of their most emotionally affecting albums. Released in 2016, it pares the band back to uneasy textures, fractured rhythms and Nick Cave’s exposed vocal delivery, with a sound shaped by sessions in London and France and later work with producer and co-composer Warren Ellis. The record arrived amid profound personal tragedy, giving its songs a rawness and fragility that resonated far beyond alternative rock circles. Widely praised on release, it confirmed the group’s ability to turn pain, atmosphere and restraint into something deeply affecting and uncompromising.

Genre: Pop & Rock
