Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Wild God review – a different kind of transcendence

Powered by a spacey analogue keyboard figure, the riveting Final Rescue Attempt throws another classic Cave piano workout on to this artist’s impressive stack. But if much of Wild God is tremendous, mobilising bodies of water, religious figures, animals and allegorical storytelling in the service of unanchored feeling, the Bad Seeds do remain a tad muted in the mix. Nonetheless: Cave muttering “never mind, never mind” on Song of the Lake is an act of consolation you can believe in.
