This is a landmark publication from a cultural icon. Walker's work, as Joyce's before it, is a complex synaesthesia of thought, feeling, the doings of the physical world and the weight of foreign objects slowly ground together down into diamond. This is not art for the passive.
It does not impart comfort or ease. Tempests will not be reconciled by the final bars and no one is going home any more. The first ever selection of lyrics by the iconic Scott Walker, hand picked by the artist. Scott Walker is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant, serious, and intelligent avant-garde artists today. As one of the greatest lyricists of the 20th century and front man of globally loved pop trio, The Walker Brothers, Walker commands huge devotion.
Is the first ever selection of Walker's lyrics curated by the artist himself, published for the first time with a stunning introduction by Eimear McBride. Is quite simply a cultural icon. He is an American-born, British singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He is known for his distinctive voice and for the unorthodox career path which has taken him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century avant-garde musician. Originally coming to fame in the mid-1960s singing orchestral pop ballads as the frontman of The Walker Brothers, Walker went on to a solo career balancing a light entertainment with increasing artistic innovations in arrangement and writing perspective.
Since the mid-1980s Walker has revived his solo career while drastically reinventing his artistic and compositional methods, via a series of acclaimed and vividly avant-garde albums. The change in approach has been compared to "Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen". In Australia, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
