AUDIO: Scott Walker (2012)

David Toop, Rock's Backpages audio, Fall 2012

Scott talks about his new album Bish Bosch and explains why it took so long; discusses the nature of his voice on the record; how he wrote and prepared its track; the centrality of his lyrics to his music; his musicians and arrangements; the album's darkness and its demands on his voice; how he always felt more European than American; opera and other projects... and growing old as an artist.
