About this album
Tender Prey is a defining Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album, sharpening the group’s gothic intensity into some of their most unforgettable songwriting. Released in 1988, it finds Cave and the Bad Seeds in bleak, dramatic form, with the devastating ‘The Mercy Seat’ standing as one of the band’s signature songs. The album’s mix of alternative rock, new wave textures and biblical menace helped cement Cave’s reputation as one of rock’s most singular writers. Produced with a lean, hard-edged focus, Tender Prey remains one of the band’s key late-1980s statements and a high point in their dark, uncompromising catalogue.
