Track Of The Day #226: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Mermaids

Out now is the fifteenth album by Nick Cave and those Bad Seed fellers and it’s called ‘Push The Sky Away’. After the harder edge of ‘Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!’, it seems Cave wants to leave that style to the Grinderman side project, although their future remains in doubt. This latest album returns to the morosity that the man does best. It’s moody, sinister and downbeat but as well executed as you would expect. If you like Cave, you will love it.
