Just picked up a cheap ish copy of this and new I’d seen someone writing about it somewhere. Still yet to listen tho, there never seems to be an optimal time for Scott walker listening lol

It’s not as suffocating as the albums that follow, so it doesn’t have quite the same “brace yourself” feel. It’s more sort of calmly unsettling. But it has these moments of real beauty too. It’s definitely a solitary listen lol.

Yeah, I saw this and the drift second hand and while I was tempted by the latter I’m not really sure I would ever have listened to it, so harrowing! I’d like to revisit the Sunn0))) one, IIRC it catches both at their more playful…

Yeah the Sunn0)) one benefits from being kind of merrily overblown I think. I find the drift probably the toughest of all of them. I do think it’s amazing but it really has to be a very particular kind of day for that to go on.
