With the aptly named Seven Psalms, Nick Cave sinks a little deeper into the fabric of spirituality and introspection. There’s no singing here, just the recital of seven psalms. Each one is less than two minutes long, soberly wrapped in the synthetic and ephemeral layers provided by his accomplice Warren Ellis before being lightly peppered with vocal harmonies. A completely instrumental version of this magnificent piece of music is also available…
Nick Cave has always had a rather peculiar relationship with religion; even in his darkest, most self-destructive years. After losing two sons in less than ten years, it’s easy to see why a kind of withdrawal seems to be taking over his work. His sound is becoming less and less rock’n’roll and more and more contemplative. The Bad Seeds frontman has also obliterated the “classic” song structure, creating free forms that sometimes even forego a chorus. Seven Psalms addresses the divine and is an album full of existential questioning. It’s an EP intended for the more hardcore fans; the followers of this icon who seems to be metamorphosing into… a deity? © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
