Album Notes & Community Reviews

Culled from the astonishingly avant-garde final studio sessions that produced their swansong 'Nite Flights', this posthumous release highlights Scott Walker's radical artistic reinvention. By discarding their traditional orchestral pop in favor of dissonant, synthesizer-driven art rock, the recordings significantly anticipated the moody experimentation of the impending post-punk era.

Genres

Descriptors: avant-garde, dissonant, atmospheric, experimental, dystopian
