Scott Walker and Sunno))) – Soused

Scott Walker remains one of the few artists who consistently releases uncompromisingly uncomfortable, but equally breath taking records. The end of his contemporary trilogy, Bish Bosch, provided a logical conclusion to The Drift and Tilt. This collaboration doesn’t move far from that template, but has a level of accessibility (relatively speaking) not heard since Climate of the Hunter. Walker bombards us again with a punishing, yet exquisite aural palette, and his demented baritone voice is in fine form. What ties it together more neatly than Bish Bosch is Sunno)))’s complementary drone metal emphasis driving each track. Highly recommended - downright frightening!
