- CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE
WEEK
- Scott Walker & Sunn O))) "Soused" 2014 (USA/UK)
Since
we were focusing on new releases on the show last time, I figured we
might as well induct another 21st century recording into the hall of
classics. My favorite artist of the 21st century is probably Scott
Walker, who just turned 75 years old this month. Formerly an incredibly strange crooner of easy listening music, but more recently the creator of indescribable avant-garde "uneasy listening"
music, he has also been the governor of Wisconsion since 2010! His most
recent album of songs (as opposed to orchestra music) was a
collaboration with the heavy guitar drone duo Sunn O))) (which is
simply pronounced "sun"), and it was my pick for the #2 best album of
that year. This album is absolutely monumental, but was released
the same year as the heaviest triple-LP of the 21st century to date,
by Swans. |
