Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return with 'Ghosteen', completing a loose trilogy that began with 'Push The Sky Away' (2013) and continued with 'Skeleton Tree' (2016). While 'Skeleton Tree' was deeply shaped by the grief of Cave’s son’s passing, 'Ghosteen' processes loss with clarity and sorrow. Cave’s voice reaches new emotional depths, including extended falsetto passages, as he navigates themes of mourning and transcendence.

Musically, 'Ghosteen' extends the ethereal textures of its predecessors, blending ambient soundscapes, sweeping strings, and processed drones. Choirs contribute an eerie, celestial presence, unlike the gospel fervor of "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus". The album’s grand, synth-laden orchestration evokes both contemporary classical influences and Cave’s signature poetic intensity. At over 70 minutes, 'Ghosteen' is a vast, meditative journey—an exploration of spectral beauty and spiritual migration.
