There's leftfield music, there's the down right avant-garde and then there's music that is so far out there that it's out of sight. Who better to take you on that journey than a man who has been doing his own thing for 40 odd years and to hell with everything else. It is of course Scott Walker and this is the first track from his recently released album 'Bish Bosch'. It's nigh on impossible to put a label on this one particular song let alone the entire album. The song titles give a clue as to the exotic flavour but all I can do is urge you to listen to it - actively listen to it - as you would have to with say, Captain Beefheart or Psychic TV. It won't be all plain sailing but it is worth it.

scott walker's new album trailer
Tweet
The enigmatic Scott Walker has a new album pencilled for release shortly and his record company have put up a fascinating trailer for it. He's definitely another one of those artists that I have on my "must see" list. The archetypal cat that walked by himself. So cool.

Sorry about this post straight after the other one but I'd forgotten just how good this song is. Actually, it's not just good - it's epic. What a tune, what a voice!
Scott Walker - Stay With Me

The title comes from one of my favourite Squeeze songs but I'm using it only as an extremely clumsy way to announce a Scott Walker themed post. The man is a genius who has influenced many musicians. Here's a few (but let's start with a classic from Scott).
Scott Walker - No Regrets
Jarvis Cocker - Baby Coming Back to Me
David Sylvian - Bhajan
Damon Albarn - Strange News From Another Star
Marc Almond - What Makes a Man
hmm...I've chosen British performers. It wasn't a conscious decision either.
