Steiner reflects upon Cave's journey from his childhood in Australia, struggles with drug addiction, his young fascination with the nightmare landscapes of America's wild west and the southern gothic towards a reckoning with his own sense of Christian spirituality. In a career spanning four decades Cave's songwriting has moved from the saints and sinners of the traditional murder ballad to piano-based heartbreak songs, deconstructed garage rock and ambient fever dreams delivered through minimalist electronica. Adam Steiner dives into the world of a complex songwriter who, in his universal expressions of love and death, continues to speak to us of the light and shade of humanity.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46658412511390,"sku":"UBD-9781538160350","price":65.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781538160350.jpg?v=1774925239","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781538160350","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
