Scott Walker vs. The Divine Comedy

Heard from Randolf that Scott Walker just released an album The Drift last month and he recommended it. I'd hope to get it soon. Getting damn broke. Here's the official site. Of course, the man is still enigmatic as ever.

Among his many devotees which includes the famous ones like Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Pulp's Jarvis Cocker (who actually worked with Scott Walker for their swan song album We Love Life - which is pretty good.), Neil Hannon flies his flag the highest. Over-the-fucken-top bombastic pop songs with orchestral flourishes and that baritone vocal stylings. The new Divine Comedy album Victory For The Comic Muse is apparently out as well. Check out the details here. I heard it's back to the old style of the band. Looks like it's probably worth getting. Then I could bitch about how the album sounds comfortably familiar but it's not ground-breaking. But the hell I give a fuck about ground-breaking anyway.
