In a recent interview with MOJO magazine, Scott Walker was asked "If [his] new LP was a panel in Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights triptych, which one would it be and why?". His response was typically oblique: "I really don't think Bish Bosch corresponds fully to any of them, though I've a sneaking suspicion that you'd like me to pick the panel on the right [Hell]. I'm going for the elephant on the left."
