This is the album that I wanted Scott Walker's Bish Bosch to sound like. He sounds a dead ringer for Scott Walker with rich, operatic tones over a piano-led band and his humour is offbeat and the music is in parts sounding a little like experimental musical theatre but he always manages to have one foot on the ground. The songs are beautifully produced and deceptive in that classic Scott Walker way of sounding at first listen like it's cheesy but then revealing a sharp, satirical and extremely clever song. I've had it on loop for 2 days solid now and still not tired of it, except for the faint car alarm sound in the first track, Blue Car but even that's not really that annoying. Beautiful stuff.
