At the heart of ‘Push the Sky Away’ is a naturalism and warmth\nthat makes it the most subtly beautiful of all the Bad Seeds\nalbums. The contemporary settings of myths, and the cultural\nreferences that have time-stamped Nick’s songs of the twenty-first\ncentury mist lightly through details drawn from the life he\nobserved around his seaside home, through the tall windows on the\nalbum’s mysterious and ambiguous cover.
\n
The songs on this album took form in a modest notebook with\nshellac covers over the course of almost a year. The notebook is a\ntreasured analogue artefact but the internet is equally important\nto Nick: Googling curiosities, being entranced by exotic Wikipedia\nentries “whether they’re true or not”. These songs convey how on\nthe internet profoundly significant events, momentary fads and\nmystically-tinged absurdities sit side-by-side and question how we\nmight recognise and assign weight to what’s genuinely\nimportant.
\n
‘Push the Sky Away’ was produced by Nick Launay and recorded at\nLa Fabrique, a recording studio based in a 19th Century mansion in\nthe South of France, where the walls of the main studio are lined\nwith an immense collection of classical vinyl. The album has a\nclarity and sweet strangeness that’s built upon the refusal to\naccept limitations, whether they be the traditional uses and sounds\nof musical instruments, lyric styles, or diminished spiritual\nhorizons.
\n
This the Deluxe Limited Edition and features an A5 bound,\nembossed book containing the CD and DVD, a bookpack [with\nartwork/lyrics taken from Nick’s handwritten notebooks], a\nlinen-effect bound, debossed cover and a bonus DVD with 2 videos of\nspoken word tracks “Needle Boy” & “Lightning Bolts”
