今作は、シンセ等の楽器のサウンド導入されかたでか、
ちょっと The Flaming Lips っぽさを感じた。
“I told my friends that life was very sweet,” he offers on the sweeping cinematic prayer of ‘Cinnamon Horses’, the centre-piece of the 18th Bad Seeds album ‘Wild God’. It sees Cave promise “that love would endure if it could” with a peace in his voice and the bliss-kissed melodies that lift the album ever heavenward. These aren’t the songs of a vampire.
Opener ‘Song For The Lake’ carries the lucid dream approach of ‘Ghosteen’ but with the rock core of the Bad Seeds – particularly Jim Sclavunos’ soulful drums – driving it with a very earthly delight. The title track is a joyous waltz cathartically culminating in Cave as the preacher man calling on you “if you’re feeling lonely and if you’re feeling blue, and you just don’t know what to do,” then to join him on this journey of joy and escape.
