This album is something of a paradox, marking a transition from Cave’s previous spiky post-punk music to his later, ambient and atmospheric sounds. It’s both accessible whilst also being a tough listen in places, due to the extraordinarily frank and explicit lyrics talking about obsessive and damaged relationships clearly drawn from his own personal experiences. The music is sparse, mostly simple piano accompaniments, but suits the mood that Cave is conveying here.
This is definitely one for listening on headphones when you are in the mood, rather than putting into general listening.
