2. NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS – ‘Push The Sky Away’

I listened a lot to this album when I was on my way to Denmark, a year ago. He’s a genius: it seems so easy but it really isn’t. I learned about synth pads, organs, beats, delays, vocal rhythm in musical arrangements. The general idea is that it sounds as though it has been stripped down, with a lot of space for his touching words.
