The Drift
“The cult artist's first new studio record since 1995's devastating Tilt was written and produced over a seven-year period, and, like its predecessor, its stories are taken from a varied, almost overstuffed horizon of literature, news stories, Walker's half-forgotten dreams, and otherwise poetic neuroses.”
Tilt
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit Scott Walker’s 1995 turn to the avant-garde, a dense and operatic work of geopolitical and psychosexual pop music.”
'Til the Band Comes In
“The lost, long-out-of-print 'Til the Band Comes In is finally reissued, filling in an important link in one of the more unexpected and fascinating careers in modern pop.”
Bish Bosch
“Scott Walker's third album in the last 17 years features drums and guitars and other passing references to rock music, but its deepest roots are in the dissonant, turn-of-the century compositions by Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Webern, and Berg.”
The Childhood of a Leader (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
“The avant-garde icon Scott Walker scored this film about a fictional 9-year-old dictator, and it's one of the best things Walker has done since the still-unsettling The Drift.”
Bish Bosch
“While Bish Bosch isn't the strangest thing walking the planet, that certainly seems to be what he aims for on what is easily his most absurd album yet.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
