luv n haight presents lost soul, a comprehensive collection of material recorded by geater davis for the house of orange label. the name of the album is an accurate description of the life and career of the legendary blues and soul singer who passed away at age 38 while on the verge of breaking through.

a yawning desert covers and oppresses a distant daemon-sphere pregnant with the stuff of a thousand earths. clouds of the same hue and attitude as the infinite sands gradually dominate the sky, possessed of a malign intelligence. a trans-generational caravan cuts an unforgiving line through the dunes in a fruitless mission to close its great mad circle, forever missing by just miles. it is a roving, innumerable harem in liege to an unsexed tyrant who sings them this song, reproduced here by resonant hole emissaries jeanne vomit-terror and ed sunspot, as the caravan commits the abominable act of transgressing the horizon into the infant sky-desert “above.” carl calm’s “gulf of night” mix is a monster, as is the great mike simonetti’s perverse interpretation!

push the sky away ist das vielleicht außergewöhnlichste album der bad seeds. der longplayer strahlt natürlichkeit und waerme aus, ein werk von subtiler schoenheit. die songs haben über ein jahr hinweg gestalt angenommen in nick caves geliebtem notizbuch. das notizbuch ist ein analoges artefakt, doch das internet ist für nick cave ebenso essentiell.
