The Birthday Party - Mutiny ep The Bad Seed
Review by Ragnar Terjeson Miljeteig
The Mutiny EP, also known as The Bad Seed, by Birthday Party is an intense and raw collection of songs that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The EP features four tracks that are characterized by Nick Cave's distinctive vocals, Mick Harvey's guitar riffs, and the band's overall chaotic energy.
The opening track, "Sonny's Burning," sets the tone for the rest of the EP with its driving rhythm and dark lyrics. "Wild World" is a slower, more atmospheric song that builds to a frenzied climax, while "Fears of Gun" is a haunting and menacing track that features Cave's spoken-word vocals.
The final track, "Deep in the Woods," is a standout with its eerie guitar riff and Cave's haunting vocals. The song builds to a chaotic crescendo, leaving the listener feeling both exhilarated and unsettled.
