Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Henry’s Dream

$54.00 AUD

Black Vinyl

Henry’s Dream comes in hot and half-mad. Nick Cave sounds possessed by story, sin and bad weather. The Bad Seeds follow him straight into the dirt. Guitars scrape. Piano stabs. The drums feel like they are chasing something through the dark. It is raw, theatrical and beautifully unsteady. Crooked hymns. Fevered folk-blues. Dark stories told with no interest in behaving. A Bad Seeds record with dust in its lungs and fire at the edges.

About the album.

Originally released on 27 April 1992, Henry’s Dream is the seventh studio album by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Released through Mute Records, the album was produced by David Briggs, best known for his work with Neil Young.

Following the more restrained atmosphere of The Good Son, Henry’s Dream pushed the Bad Seeds back toward something rawer, darker and more volatile. The record features some of Cave’s most vivid narrative songwriting, moving through haunted character sketches, violent visions, crooked romance and apocalyptic folk-blues.

Featuring Papa Won’t Leave You, Henry, I Had A Dream, Joe, Straight To You, Loom Of The Land and Jack The Ripper, the album captures the Bad Seeds at a tense and combustible point in their evolution. Rough-edged, literary and full of menace, Henry’s Dream remains one of the band’s most forceful early-90s statements.
