Ian Penman hat das Album schon gehört, wie es aussieht:
IanYes, yes, it’s the new Scott Walker.
It’s called „The Drift“.
Ten tracks (last one acoustic just like Tilt and Climate of Hunter).
Like Tilt only more so – darker, stranger, further out, further in.
Astonishing stuff. Three or four of the tracks (at least) career highlights: so powerful I had to listen to it in two or three track bursts. Tracks two and three actually disabled me for about 45 minutes after (the way „The Electrician“ and „Farmer In The City“ did when I first heard them, only more so).
If you got Tilt, you’ll love this. „Haunting“ doesn’t begin to do justice to its emotional complexity.
Inspirational: a 63 year old who makes musicians – artists – a third his age seem like cop outs; and makes 53 or 63 (or 46) seem like a good age to really start living…
Worth the wait – and then some.
