Scott Walker Album Finally Has Title and Release Date

4AD reported yesterday that the 11-year wait for new Scott Walker material will be over very soon:

We’re delighted to announce that Scott Walker has completed work on his first album for the label. The long-awaited new album – called The Drift – will be Scott’s first since the ground-breaking Tilt was released in 1995. 4AD will release the album worldwide in May. The exact date will be announced shortly.

A documentary film about Scott’s music – including the making of The Drift – is being made by the New York -based director Stephen Kijak. Titled “30 Century Man”, it will also be released in 2006.
