Well played

Hey this came out today. I heard it. It's decent. Maybe not quite the world building of the Drift or Bish Bosch, quite a few familiar ideas in here too, but it's Scott and it's Sunn O))) so it's obviously ace. Feels like a more naked version of the extent Scott sound. I'm more aware of what is actually going on than before.

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Monday, 20 October 2014 21:06 (nine years ago) link

Sounds almost exactly as I had anticipated. Enjoyed the 30 minutes I listened to on the walk to work this morning, being buffeted by winds.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 07:46 (nine years ago) link

Also I thought it sounded as if he was singing about Balfour Beaty.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 07:59 (nine years ago) link

Oh the wide tandoori...

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 08:49 (nine years ago) link

Brando's hook sounds just like Sweet Child O Mine.

..Maybe not quite the world building of the Drift or Bish Bosch..

I have had Soused for 5 days and have spun it more times than I listened to Bish Bosch in 5 weeks after buying it. I prefer it.

Holy crap. This is as good as I accidentally imagined it would be for a second when I heard about it, before sanity kicked in and I lowered my expectations.

glenn mcdonald, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 00:36 (nine years ago) link

excellent post

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 00:39 (nine years ago) link

The most surprising thing on this album are its first opening seconds. And yeah it sounds like GnR.

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 00:45 (nine years ago) link

It's really good, though Lullaby sent me back to Ute Lemper's version where, just for the briefest moment, she sounds like Billy Mackenzie.

Michael Jones, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 11:23 (nine years ago) link

Which release is the UL version on?

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 11:25 (nine years ago) link

It's on the Japanese edition of her Punishing Kiss album.

goth colouring book (anagram), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 11:28 (nine years ago) link

Also included in the Five Easy Pieces boxset, which they were practically giving away (it was a bit battered) in HMV about five years ago.

Michael Jones, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 12:00 (nine years ago) link

I'll use my time machine.

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 12:41 (nine years ago) link

Or I'll just Dropbox it to you, seeing as it's so difficult to find...

Michael Jones, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 12:44 (nine years ago) link

(It'll have to be tonight as I have an iPhone and, naturally, I can't get anything off that).

Michael Jones, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 12:52 (nine years ago) link

Lemper version is so definitive I think of this one as a cover (an excellent one). It's interesting that Scott took out the "fa la la" sections, song feels quite different without them

龜✊ (wins), Wednesday, 22 October 2014 13:03 (nine years ago) link

It's cool Michael, but thanks. I do have a rip of that already :-)

lou barlow does not like sunn o)))

Daniel, Esq 2, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 23:56 (nine years ago) link

i hope sunn o))) names their next album 'lou barlow' and it's just one chord played for sixty minutes with the lyric 'lou barlow' intoned at a glacial pace over the whole running time.

StanM, Thursday, 23 October 2014 04:04 (nine years ago) link

this is a good listen. certainly more listenable than Bisch Bosch and the Drift; it has a nice ominous cozy feel to it. Perfect for a dreadful autumn.

akm, Thursday, 23 October 2014 05:11 (nine years ago) link

Walker currently locked in a basement with SunnO))), playing a three-hour long version of Dinosaur Jr:'s "Don't" whilst weeping.

Three Word Username, Thursday, 23 October 2014 08:09 (nine years ago) link

"synthesized pre-set whip-cracks"

Oh, Lou. Scott has a whip man. From Bristol. Everyone knows that.

Michael Jones, Thursday, 23 October 2014 08:56 (nine years ago) link

Well Lou's always had a reputation for being a miserable git.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 23 October 2014 10:03 (nine years ago) link

The other factual error in there is he gets the lyrics to his 'favorite scott walker song' wrong (the string tied to the underwear is plastic palace people not montague terrace)

a drug by the name of WORLD WITHOUT END (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 23 October 2014 11:24 (nine years ago) link

Online hardman's "takedown" is more deserving of our attention than this wasteman

龜✊ (wins), Thursday, 23 October 2014 12:24 (nine years ago) link

lou was saying plastic palace people is ~montague terrace era~ but sort of a strange way to tag a scott ~era~ and smacks of half-assed attempt to appear to have interest/investment

conrad, Thursday, 23 October 2014 13:54 (nine years ago) link

RIP perfectly respectable melodic indie bands that sound good on laptop speakers

龜✊ (wins), Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link

responses to this album are making it really easy to decide whose musical opinions i can safely ignore from now on

why dost thou hide thyself in (clouds), Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:13 (nine years ago) link

Not really heard this yet and while I don't find the music of SunnO))) particularly interesting, "this sounded like shit on my computer speakers" is such a dumb fucking criticism.

Matt DC, Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:33 (nine years ago) link

God that Lou Barlow piece is one of the least convincing arguments I've ever read. Scott has made a Christmas album - Bish Bosch.

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link

Comparing Sunn O))) to a load of 80s proto-grunge and industrial is getting it wrong too.

Shepard Toney Album (dog latin), Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link

sunn o))) sound good on laptop speakers

hmmm... not sure if that video was interesting or kind of boring at 9.30mins. Not a patch on the Epizootics vid.
