Scott Walker follows his remarkable collaboration with Sunn O))) with this remarkable soundtrack to Brady Corbet's directorial debut, Walker's first score work since the 'Pola X' soundtrack in 1999. Partly inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's short story of the same name, 'The Childhood of a Leader' is a tense psychological drama tracing the formative years of a young boy and set against the backdrop of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference that led to the establishment of the Treaty of Versailles. Walker continues to work with long-term collaborators Peter Walsh (co-producer) and Mark Warman (musical director), with the latter conducting an orchestra comprised of 46 string players and 16 brass for the studio recording. LP - Black Vinyl. LP+ - Limited to 750 Copies on Clear Vinyl.
