Scott Walker - Bish Bosch CD Unboxing / Packaging Review
I somehow managed to get my hands on a copy of Scott Walker's new album Bish Bosch a week in advance... and I couldn't help myself, I had to share an overview of the packaging! Expect a review in the coming days. An expansive, belching, puking trip through hell on earth.

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!

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.
