Reviews


Idiot Prayer (2021)


Intense but quietly hopeful and resilient live piano-and-voice album from Nick Cave recorded alone in the empty Alexandra Palace in London


Abattoir Blues/lyre Of Orpheus (2004)


Surprisingly mainstream, but as always impressive two album set of new songs from the ever reliable Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
