Bish Bosch is the fourteenth and final solo studio album by American-British singer-songwriter Scott Walker, released on 4AD on 3 December 2012.
[5] The music was recorded over a period of two years, with lengthy gaps between sessions due to various problems: trouble booking studios, the death of producer Peter Walsh's father, and the limited availability of musicians (including Walker himself, who scored the dance And Who Shall Go to the Ball?
The song describes Zercon performing for Attila, trying to escape and reach a "spiritual sovereignty", failing, and ultimately becoming a brown dwarf and burning out.
And this idea continued to play through the record in certain spots.The first music to appear from the album was heard in a promotional video released on October 11, 2012, which featured extracts from the songs "'See You Don't Bump His Head'", "Tar", "Dimple", "Corps De Blah", "Phrasing" and "Epizootics!"
[12] Clash Music called the song "a lengthy, often surreal rumination"[13] while NPR said that it was "weirdly funky" and recalled the Nite Flights track "Fat Mama Kick".
[15] The recording was selected as 'Album of the Week' in The Independent, The Guardian and The Sunday Times, 'Album of the Month' in Mojo magazine,[26] and 'Album of the Year' by Tiny Mix Tapes.
