Scott Walker - The Drift
Scott Walker, for those unfamiliar, used to be a 60s pop singer. As of recently however his music has taken a drastic turn to the experimental and downright horrifying. The Drift, is one of those later albums.
I was originally introduced to this album by a friend who told me it was one of the scariest albums he had ever heard. I was skeptical, but no, this really is absolutely terrifying this album.
It isn't terrifying per say from creepy spooky ambient noises however, there is something more to the sound, the haunting vocals, and the peculiar irregularities from the experimental that really give this album its horrifying sound.
Here is a sample.

That recommendation wasn't A from GM was it? He's always raving about Scott Walker.
ReplyDeleteActually no, it was the fiddler player from a touring "bluegrass" band I met and we ended up exchanging all of our music. Good guy. If anything, taught me to not judge people by their appearances. We got into discussions about shit like Earth too.
ReplyDeleteAh cool yeah. The guy I was referring to plays in a Death Metal band but always says pretty much the same thing about this album. I think he's much more into the early solo and Walker Brothers stuff though, despite being in a DM band. Appearances an all that...
ReplyDeleteHaha yea, me and the guy took a walk down to the local record shop, he bought Scott 3 haha.
