4AD is 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.
