Nick Cave's first album since 2016, and the first to be written after the untimely death of his 15-year-old son. It's certainly easy to see plenty of grief and mourning in what I've heard so far, but it's not actually a downer the way that implies. It's much broader in its introspection.

AVClub Review.

What Cave sends us from this new place is remarkable. Ghosteen is both his most solitary recording since 2001’s No More Shall We Part and impossible to imagine without the contributions of The Bad Seeds.... He sounds simultaneously alone at the edge of the world and surrounded by benevolent spirits, a fittingly biblical cloud of witnesses who haven’t seen the power of God so much as they’ve moved through the fallout of their own atomic blasts; theirs is a communion of radiation.
