Essential Scott Walker @ Fact Magazine →

By Angus Finlayson, 30 April 2013. “By the age of 23, Scott Walker had had a more successful pop career than most could hope for in a lifetime. As one third of the Walker Brothers, a trio of Americans in self-imposed exile in the UK, he experienced a level of superstardom that briefly rivalled that of the Beatles. Mid-60s songs like ‘Make It Easy On Yourself’ and ‘The Sun Ain’t Gonna...

FILTER 50: Replying To Silence: Scott Walker's New... →

Interview by Kyle MacKinnel, Filter Magazine, 16 November 2012. “Nearly a decade was taken away from me before Climate of Hunter, and quite rightly so for doing that. I should have kept my nose to the grindstone, but I lived in bad faith—that’s the best way to describe it. I can’t say I regret it so much now, because I’m making the records that I choose to make. Whether they’re any good is...

Scott Walker Curates Season of Films for Curzon... →

7 December 2012, Fact Magazine/The Quietus. The Travelling Players “A film like Angelopoulos’ The Travelling Players, is a work I’ve not seen since its initial release in the 70s but have fond, if hazy, memories of, so the impulse here is re-acquaintance of which I’m very much looking forward.” Le Quattro Volte “A film that truly casts a spell. Extraordinary, as for stretches of time,...

Really great interview with Scott Walker on The... →

angelsofashes: With one of my favourite opening gambits of any interview, probably: I’m sure everyone reading this knows the sudden jarring sensation of getting half way through a joke or an anecdote before realising what they’re saying is completely inappropriate.
