A band called Bat for Lashes has a new album out, with a song featuring a duet with Scott Walker. What’s more, there’s a video for the song featuring footage from Mullholland Drive.
It sounds like it was recorded in the same magical room as “Sons Of” by Walker and “Innocent When You Dream (78)” by Tom Waits. As much as I love Walker’s trembling, almost androgynous vocals on the Drift and Tilt (which sounds almost like a harried Nina Simone at points), this song features that impossibly handsome voice from his 60’s pop albums. Awesome. Now, get him in the studio with Radiohead, since they both (1, 2) seem to be fans of each other’s music.
