Nick Cave Says All Worry Is Laid to Waste Listening to Geese
In a revelation that feels like a perfectly curated B-side, the legendary Nick Cave, an artist whose own canon is a cathedral of gothic sorrow and transcendent beauty, has found an unexpected source of profound peace: the Brooklyn-based band Geese, and specifically their track 'Trinidad. ' For Cave, a man whose work with The Bad Seeds has long served as a conduit for wrestling with the divine and the damned, this isn't merely a casual listen; it's an experience where 'all worry is laid to waste,' a phrase that carries the weight of a spiritual epiphany.This endorsement from such a revered figure is no small feat in today's oversaturated musical landscape, where algorithms often dictate taste and genuine artistic discovery feels like a relic. Geese, emerging from the same post-punk and art-rock ferment that birthed acts like Parquet Courts and Bodega, represent a new vanguard.Their sound, a wiry, anxious, yet irresistibly propulsive strain of guitar music, might seem an unlikely balm for Cave's existential preoccupations, but therein lies the magic. It suggests a passing of the torch, a moment where the elder statesman of noir finds resonance in the jittery energy of the new generation.'Trinidad' itself is a masterclass in controlled chaos, building from a taut, rhythmic foundation into cathartic release, a structure Cave himself has employed to devastating effect in songs like 'Jubilee Street' or 'The Ship Song. ' One can easily imagine him, perhaps in a dimly lit studio or a quiet moment at home, hearing in Geese's youthful fervor not just a great song, but an echo of his own relentless creative pursuit.This isn't just a fan picking a favorite track; it's an artist recognizing the same alchemical process in others, the transformation of anxiety and observation into something that momentarily halts the relentless march of time and worry. For fans of Cave, it offers a new lens through which to appreciate his sensibilities, and for fans of Geese, it’s a monumental co-sign from one of music's most uncompromising voices, validating their place not just as a buzz band, but as genuine heirs to a lineage of raw, emotionally charged rock and roll. In an industry obsessed with metrics and virality, Cave’s deeply personal connection to 'Trinidad' is a powerful reminder that the core of music fandom, even for icons, remains that simple, ineffable moment when a song stops being just sound and becomes a sanctuary.
