Scott Walker - Bish Bosch Teaser Trailer


An amazing teaser trailer for the new Scott Walker album Bish Bosch (to be released December 3rd) has been posted on 4AD's YouTube channel. The video features footage from within the studio and a track-by-track preview of the album.

The sound of the album is distinctly different to Scott Walker's 2006 album The Drift, it retains the tension of that release but the absence of an orchestra is pronounced and utilized to create an eerie silence in which sounds emerge from. It kind of reminds me of Tilt filtered through The Drift, it feels timeless like The Drift yet features a similar set of instruments and a few sounds here and there that bring back memories of Tilt, especially the track Corps De Blah. I'm really liking the sound of Dimple and Phrasing and can't wait to hear the album in full, only 2 months to go!

How to replace a Game Boy Color screen cover


I recently picked up this old school Game Boy Color for £5, total bargain, it is in good condition aside from the screen being a bit scuffed and one pretty noticeable scratch and some dirt on the inside of the console casing. I will take apart this Game Boy Color to clean the inside at a later date but for now I have decided to replace the screen cover with a new one and document it as guidance for others.

REVIEW: The Walker Brothers - Everything Under The Sun

Format: 5 CD Boxset
Label: Polydor
Year: 2006 (featuring recordings between 1965-1978)

I first got into The Walker Brothers through listening to Scott Walker's incredible solo work and I have to be honest before getting this box set I didn't think there was much to The Walker Brothers as a group and as a separate entity... I was all about Scott! The Walker Brothers just seemed so sugary and almost kitsch... and I guess they still are but I feel now, having listened to all of their tracks (all are included here... literally Everything Under The Sun!) I can put The Walker Brothers into a context and have a better understanding of their relevance in the music industry, within pop culture and also get an understanding of the birth of Scott Walker as a solo artist.

The Drift to be reissued on vinyl


One of my all time favourite albums is to receive a vinyl reissue on July 10th, Scott Walker's 2006 release The Drift... an amazing album that I will post a review of soon. I imagine this is to coincide with a new album that is (hopefully) to be released within the next 12 months on 4AD.
