Editing Your Funeral... My Trial (section)

== Recording ==
Producer [[Flood (music producer)|Flood]] said, "I remember [[Mick Harvey]] arrived in the studio with the guts of an old grand piano, that was the basis of the sound. It was just the strings, attached to a metal frame. He tuned certain notes, and used a guitar plectrum to pick the notes. It then ended up as "[[The Carny]]". That was the first day of recording ''Your Funeral… My Trial'', and that kind of set the tone for the whole record."<ref>{{cite web| work= Uncut | title=Nick Cave 20 Best Songs | date=18 February 2015 | url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/nick-cave-s-30-greatest-songs-chosen-by-the-bad-seeds-his-famous-fans-and-cave-himself-37741/5/}}</ref>

Reflecting on the album in 2020, guitarist Mick Harvey noted: "[The album] gave us the template to go forward with. It was organised rather than rambling. It all felt complete even though it was a disparate set of sounds and styles. It felt like it belonged to us. It sounded like The Bad Seeds."<ref name="Mojo">{{cite magazine|last=Male |first=Andrew |date= April 2020 |title=Nick Cave's 50 Greatest Songs: 'Something Monstrous Was Taking Shape' |magazine= [[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]] }}</ref>
