Skeleton Tree

Skeleton Tree is the 16th album from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Tragedy tinges this record, as towards the end of the recording process, Nick Cave’s 15 year old son died. Most of the songs had already been recorded, but the theme of loss and death runs deep on this record. The accompanying documentary One More Time With Feeling is a more accurate portrayal of Cave’s devastation after the news. The film showcases the final stages of production on the album, and has been met with widespread acclaim.

The record itself was a massive success for Cave and his band, debuting at number 1 in multiple countries. The critical community agreed, heaping it with universal acclaim.
