From Her To Eternity

Description

Following the break up of Nick Caves former group The Birthday Party, Cave and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey put together a new band featuring Einsturzende Neubauten guitarist Blixa Bargeld, additional guitarist Hugo Race, and ex-Magazine bass player Barry Adamson.

The band entered the studio on September 20th 1983, and after some sessions, emerged as Nick Cave & The Cavemen, playing their first gig in Melbourne on New Years Eve 1983. · The name was short-lived, and was soon amended to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, in reference to the final Birthday Party release, The Bad Seed EP.

Most of From Her To Eternity was recorded in London, with sessions split between The Garden studio in Shoreditch, and Trident, in Soho.

Cave later said, Well, I guess we werent kicking people in the teeth anymore. I mean, it just became different. I wanted it to be more lyrically orientated and getting Blixa Bargeld in the group made an incredible difference. Hes a completely kind of atmospheric guitarist and incredibly economical and it gave me room to breathe.

The album, produced by Mick Harvey and Flood, was released on 18th June 1984 on Mute Records, Caves label for more than the next 25 years.

It received great reviews upon its release and is recognised as one of the most timeless albums of the 80s.
