#46 Owen Hatherley on Scott Walker's strange musical journey

Owen Hatherley joins me to discuss the music and life of the late
Scott Walker. We spoke about his journey from teen heartthrob with
the Walker Brothers, to the creator of some of the most challenging
music in the history of pop. We discuss the big band, crooner
tradition that Walker emerged from, the radical break in his work
with 1978's Nite Flights and the political pessimism of his later
records. To accompany the episode here is a playlist of Walker's
work: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1xEf8KGVxK6IRpKSLc6FOS
