Scott-O -- as in Scott Walker and SunnO)))

In my view Monoliths and Dimensions is SunnO)))'s crowning achievement. Love Attilla's vocals, reminds me of Gary Oldman in Dracula.

That and the Oracle EP, yeah.

nah, peak is sustained consistent from whites through moad. more a flowering. like with a manyness of them, stamena, pistii, etc.

Hmm yeah I guess I was thinking of epic bish bosch style nos but I guess it could be a couple of small songs like "darkness" or "rosary" made monolithic

i'm in for the pre-covers project if it gets off the ground.. a perfect outlet for my dodgy Scott Walker vocal impersonation...

This is a thing I was born to be in pre-cover for.

But, as you say, if it turns out to be two long pieces (which I doubt, tbf), someone is going to have to segue them together.

julian cope must have shat his pants with glee when he heard about this

I'm holding out for a 'Picnic of Love'-style acoustic singsong.

So who's starting a pre-covers thread then?

Those only get started when you actually know the titles, right? We have no information at all.

ah true, true.

I'll be practising my haunted baritone while staring in the mirror with the lights out.

Yeah, titles needed first. However, doesn't mean you can't start planning your own masterworks.

He always says he wants to do another record soon when he releases something.

he has been speeding up his release schedule this decade.

Well the icy hand of death approaches and all. (Yes, flippant, but. He's 71 years old and...maybe he just wants to gear up and do more these days. What's guaranteed, in the end.)

Instrumental only, I'm hearing. Pendant then, for sure, but with more hype and coverage than is healthy for any record.

Did anyone else hear his James Bond track? Its on the 'die another day' soundtrack, and its odd inasmuch as he returned to his old Scott 1-4 orchestrations, but its his more modern singing voice.

Yeah I like that song okay. For old style scott vocals from that general time period I'm more into the two tracks he sang for goran bregovic, "man from Reno" and "indecent sacrifice".

I really like 'Man from Reno' as a bizarro-funk version of 'Farmer in the City'

^two of my favourite Scott tracks. The 5 easy pieces box is really essential for the film disc and the lemper tracks.

It's not really a "version" tho, just shares a line or two. None of the pasolini stuff is there

i need to own 5 easy pcs sometime, I only have a lot of this stuff as mp3 (though I was lucky enough to find the japanese version of the lemper CD with both scott tracks in a used bin)

Aw man, if you talk much more about "Five Easy Pieces" it's going to be all I'm listening to for a week. Which isn't a bad thing and all but Scott's world just sucks me in.

I even added some tracks to my digital copy that I felt were unduly left off!

And those Ute Lemper tracks are all that music should aspire to be - weird, compelling, still quite listenable, timeless.

http://pitchfork.com/news/55864-scott-walker-and-sunn-o-team-for-new-album-soused/

A few weeks ago, 4AD confirmed that mysterious experimental musician Scott Walker and drone metal outfit Sunn O))) would release a collaborative album. Today, the two parties have announced that album. It's called Soused, and it's due out September 22 in Europe and 23 in North America.

According to a press release, Sunn O))) approached Walker about appearing on their excellent 2009 album Monoliths & Dimensions. Walker declined, but in 2013, he approached them with new music he'd written specifically for a collaboration.

Soused is five tracks and 50 minutes long. It was recorded in early 2014 and features Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley, Greg Anderson, and Tos Nieuwenhuizen. It was produced by Walker and his long-time partner Peter Walsh with assistance from musical director Mark Warman. The initial double LP will be pressed on red vinyl.

In February, Sunn O))) released Terrestials, a collaborative album with Ulver. Walker's last album was 2012's Bish Bosch.

Soused (CD/digital):

01 Brando
02 Herod 2014
03 Bull
04 Fetish
05 Lullaby

Soused (LP):

A1 Brando
A2 Bull
B1 Herod 2014
C1 Fetish
C2 Lullaby

Photo makes me outrageously happy.

I know right? Iconic photo

So used

Giddy. GIDDY.

looking cool there lads, original photo

old man in jeans and a baseball cap = embarrassing as fuck m8

bet Fetish is a haunting rumination on man's innate perversion and the lengths he goes to to sublimate his truest desire

O'Malley and Anderson seem to be morphing into mirror images of each other

Wonder if "Lullaby" is a new take of the song written for Ute Lemper.

And also why if it's double vinyl with three sides, the song sequence is different than on CD. Questions, questions

xpost that would be cool

Beam me up, scott-o

jfc hardman

The more I think about this the more I feel it might just be fucking spectacular.

It would have to be a spectacular fuck up if it were anything less.

will scott walker ever live down this jeans fiasco

Hell! how good you look is all that matters as you get older!

Well, he's not the world's strongest man

Online Hardman takes down another hard target. First Scott Walker's dress sense, now the foibles of contemporary dance: http://thump.vice.com/en_uk/words/eight-things-contemporary-dance-music-needs-to-pack-in

Fuck DJs and fuck anyone impressed by them.

Go OH!

Would fuggin' love to be at one of them festival listening party things for this thing.
