A few weeks ago, 4AD confirmed that mysterious experimental musician Scott Walker and drone metal outfit Sunn O))) would release a collaborative album. Today, the two parties have announced that album. It's called Soused, and it's due out September 22 in Europe and 23 in North America.

According to a press release, Sunn O))) approached Walker about appearing on their excellent 2009 album Monoliths & Dimensions. Walker declined, but in 2013, he approached them with new music he'd written specifically for a collaboration.

Soused is five tracks and 50 minutes long. It was recorded in early 2014 and features Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley, Greg Anderson, and Tos Nieuwenhuizen. It was produced by Walker and his long-time partner Peter Walsh with assistance from musical director Mark Warman.

In February, Sunn O))) released Terrestials, a collaborative album with Ulver. Walker's last album was 2012's Bish Bosch.
