180g Vinyl Double LP Reissue!

Murder Ballads is the ninth studio album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, released in 1996 on Mute Records. As its title suggests, the album consists of new and traditional murder ballads, a genre of songs that relays the details (and often consequences) of crimes of passion.

"Where the Wild Roses Grow," a duet featuring Cave singing with Kylie Minogue, was a hit single and received two ARIA Awards in 1996. Other prominent guest musicians on the album include PJ Harvey and Shane MacGowan. The Murder Ballads album hit #3 in Australia & #8 in UK upon its initial release.

A series of Nick Cave albums reissued on vinyl in the years 2014 and 2015 now includes this ninth studio album.

"In some ways, Murder Ballads is the record Nick Cave was waiting to make his entire career...During "O'Malley's Bar," Cave and the Bad Seeds are at the height of their powers and the performances rank among the best they have ever recorded." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
