#1288 Nick Cave - From Her to Eternity

Less an album than a collection of slavering sketches, hollow spaces hemmed by bass and percussion and industrial cracks, all echoing damply while Cave barks and raves from the catacombs. It's pure primal expulsion, all atmosphere and mossy claustrophobia, a stagger through disused sewers with machines in the walls, a lurching Tom Waits robot with a wire loose. Incredibly fascinating, wildly brilliant, deeply unpleasant stuff 3/5
