Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' release their sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree. This follows the Bad Seeds' most critically and commercially successful release of recent times, Push the Sky Away (2013). Skeleton Tree began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015. The album was mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016. The album is beautiful, visceral and, predictably, emotionally devastating. A heartbreaking and stark album that is easily one of the best records released this year.

Reviews"SKELETON TREE strips down embellishments and brings to the forefront sinister bass lines and a synthesizer that will widen the tear in your heart a little more with every note, especially on the ephemeral 'Distant Sky.'", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Here is the dean of literary gothic song-craft, a master of wordplay, symbolism and irony, baring his soul like never before.", "Each of the eight tracks present on SKELETON TREE is a gaping wound, a chink in Cave’s hardened carapace that is able to let out a little of the churning ink inside.", "At times, the music seems so weighty there could be nothing heavier. At others, it lifts and soars, pulled up and aloft by Cave’s voice, here so restrained, so measured and so stately."
