Four years on, Scott was back with something even more enticing, collaborating on 'Soused', a body of work he was writing with them in mind. With a career spanning more than five decades, Scott Walker's cult status remains as significant as ever before. Experiencing mega-stardom as part of The Walker Brothers before carving out a career as a solo crooner who released a quartet of peerless self-titled LPs that painted rich vignettes of life in the late 60s, Scott went through what felt like a massive U-turn by recording a collection of masterfully challenging albums: 'Climate Of Hunter' (1984), 'Tilt' (1996), 'The Drift' (2006) and 'Bish Bosch' (2013). While there's some truth to this artistic arc, the actual picture is a lot more complex, with his knack for introducing the disturbingly counter-intuitive and the uncanny into his songwriting dating back to the likes of 'The Plague' (1967) and 'It's Raining Today' (1969).

When you consider that Walker had been atop singles charts and inside teen idol mags a mere eighteen months before this release, the combination of bleak lyrical themes of alienation together with symphonic, often waltz-metered, soundscapes presented here is astonishing even before any analysis of worth. And that's something which can't be casually measured. For my sestersi, this record contains the best lyrics, chord sequences and melodies (10 by Scott, 3 by Jacques Brel) ever written! Likewise Wally Stott (Angela Morley)'s immense orchestral arrangements; fluttering or charging wherever appropriate, toward some impressionist counterpoint paradise. They frame and punctuate the majestic melodies with such verve that already brilliant lyrics are magnified to even greater profundity.180 Gram Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4 Men With Beards","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50465528545611,"sku":"298691","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/60d3ca78-6b39-469a-9c5f-3906c69e1f74_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727291004"},{"product_id":"sings-jacques-brel-1","title":"Sings Jacques Brel","description":"\u003cp\u003escott walker fell in love with brel's work and dedicated himself to expressing brel in english. he succeeded. the songs on this album were culled off three previous scott walker albums and put together here for english speaking brel fans. it all works wonderfully. walker has an outstanding voice, and he has a clear understanding of what brel has to say - the combination leaves you enjoying both the philosophy and the music, a neat trick when you think about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465579303243,"sku":"267286","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"scott-3-1","title":"Scott 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eEthereal, exceptional, beautifully orchestrated pop music from one of the late 20th century's most idiosyncratic artists, \u003ci\u003eScott 3\u003c\/i\u003e contains a series of lush, mesmerizing songs that typify the free-spirited, experimental late 1960s. in this third solo album, Scott Walker gives free rein to his more epic impulses on songs like the careening \u003ci\u003eWe Came Through\u003c\/i\u003e, a prime example of the kind of marvelously over-the-top pieces that made him a byword for eccentricity, while \u003ci\u003e30th Century Man\u003c\/i\u003e is almost the exact opposite, featuring only the mellow-voiced singer and an acoustic guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMC","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50465594376523,"sku":"1019308","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50465594605899,"sku":"131826","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3b7e5116-9ab5-4954-98ec-77d9cc2fb079_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727293109"},{"product_id":"boy-child-best-of-67-70","title":"Boy Child-best Of 67-70","description":"\u003cp\u003ethe place to start for scott walker originals, this anthology presents 20 self-penned tunes by the u.s.-born u.k.-based avant-pop hero, french influenced singer of dark-themed folk music- scott walker. with other compilations surveying his more accessible material with the walker brothers, boy child is the ideal introduction to walker's fascinating solo work, which strongly influenced a legion of followers, including david bowie, morrissey, pulp, and the divine comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50480830611787,"sku":"131823","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"boy-child-rsd-2022-edition","title":"Boy Child RSD 2022 Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe definitive Scott Walker solo collection, which has never been released on vinyl, made available as a gorgeous white vinyl with gatefold sleeve.
