Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds: “Red Right Hand” (Mute)

Nick Cave’s music has changed a lot over the years since those first two startling solo albums. One thing which has remained a constant during all that time, however, is the remarkable prowess of The Bad Seeds. ‘Red Right Hand’ is small-town American gothic which sees ol’ Nick again troping with the old shadowy figures of death, nemesis and forsakeness. A dramatic piece.
