Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – The Boatman’s Call – Vinyl Record

Description

Heavyweight 180-gram vinyl. Vinyl transfer approval overseen by Mick Harvey in Summer 2014 and cut at Abbey Road Studios. This edition, personally approved by Nick Cave, is finally available again on it’s original format. The Boatman’s Call’ is the tenth studio album by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, released in 1997. The album, which is entirely piano-based and a departure from the band’s post-punk catalog, remains one of Nick Cave’s most critically acclaimed releases. Recording for the album began in London in mid-1996, with the bulk recorded at Sarm West and further recordings done at Abbey Road Studios. Moving away from full-band arrangements and character-based narratives, the album’s music and lyrics move towards the more intimate sound of Cave’s solo voice accompanied by piano or a few other instruments. The tempo is also generally slow, reflecting many of the songs’ moods. Many of the lyrics seem to reflect on Cave’s relationships and spiritual yearnings at the time of writing.
