From his early work with The Birthday Party to the future sounds of
Ghosteen, Nick Cave has rewritten the language of rock ‘n’
roll. Darker with the Dawn uncovers the history and deeper meanings
behind Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ most well-known songs from
“Tupelo”, “The Mercy Seat”, “Red Right Hand”,
“Stagger Lee”, “Into My Arms”, to “Higgs Boson Blues”
and beyond. The book explores Nick Cave’s life in music drawing
upon his inspirations of the Bible, Greek myth, and literature, as
well as his enduring passion for gospel, blues, and progressive
rock. Steiner reflects upon Cave's journey from his childhood in
Australia, struggles with drug addiction, his young fascination
with the nightmare landscapes of America's wild west and the
southern gothic towards a reckoning with his own sense of Christian
spirituality. In a career spanning four decades Cave's songwriting
has moved from the saints and sinners of the traditional murder
ballad to piano-based heartbreak songs, deconstructed garage rock
and ambient fever dreams delivered through minimalist electronica.
Adam Steiner dives into the world of a complex songwriter who, in
his universal expressions of love and death, continues to speak to
us of the light and shade of humanity.
