Album Review: Scott Walker & Sunn 0)) - Soused

StarStarHalf Star

"The lack of surprises from such a perversely imaginative pair of talents is Soused’s biggest disappointment"

It was never going to be pretty. The collaboration between ‘60s crooner turned creepy recluse Scott Walker and Richter Scale-shattering drone-doom figureheads Sunn 0))) could never have been anything less than unique. However, new ideas appear fairly thin on the ground compared to Walker’s last sprawling orgy of weird, Bish Bosch, whilst the intricate sound design associated with much of Sunn 0)))’s recent output is waylaid in favour of jammed-out doom chords. The lack of surprises from such a perversely imaginative pair of talents is Soused’s biggest disappointment.
