When Scott Walker released Bish Bosch in 2012 I decided I no longer needed to keep buying his albums. I'd always been hit or miss with Walker, never really buying him consistently. I completely ignored the existence of Soused by Walker and Sunn, so when my brother and I gathered two weeks ago for our summit on Music 2014 in which we talk about our favorite releases of the year past, Soused stood at the top of my brother's list. Brando is the cut he played me and it was startling! I simply loved it and haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Obviously, I've corrected my mistake of ignoring Soused. The entire album is as off-center as this opening cut making it a compulsively terrific listen.

From Scott's latest LP;..... "Bizarre"?..."Impenetrable"?..."Insane"?....I think I will choose simply , "extraordinary"

25 Years of Jam comes to a conclusion: My #1 album of 2014 was Soused, the hotly anticipated collaboration between Scott Walker and Seattle drone-metal outfit Sunn O))). Ohio-born Walker, given name Noel Scott Engel, found fame after moving to London in the 1960s through his intellectual vocal-pop combo The Walker Brothers. Tremendously popular in the UK, the group split in 1967 due to internal tensions and Walker went solo; when they reunited in 1975 their material had turned darker and more experimental, dimensions that Walker would examine deeply in the second phase of his solo career beginning with 1984's Climate of Hunter. Soused is Walker's third full-length of the new century, and his third for the 4AD label; each of these has been increasingly daring and experimental in positively challenging ways, and all have high merits—but time must be spent getting there. Collaborating with Sunn O))) is a perfect fit. A one-off, likely, but oh, what a one-off.

This came out on Monday. It's an extreme album but not perhaps as much so as the previous three Scott Walker albums. This is the opening track. The film is as disconcerting as the track. Happy Thursday Jammees.

Mmmmm, yes.
Hi all, our latest post takes a look at the brilliant new collaboration between Scott Walker, Sunn 0))) and film-maker Gisele Vienne for the track 'Brando'. We hope you enjoy the film and the post, and as always we'd love to hear your thoughts. :-) http://www.musicvideosdeconstructed.com/2014/11/17/new-reels-brando-by-scott-walker-and-sunn-o-film-by-giselle-vienne/
