Scott Walker produced...?

A few years ago I fwas looking through random websites that were talking about Scott Walker - this was just before he curated Meltdown - and there was a link somewhere to a band that he had worked with at that time, and this band was allowing a free download of their song, "Stone Dead."

Well, the song sounded pretty good (a bit of Bowie, Suede, and very Scott Walker), but a few years later I only have the song on a CD mix I made, without the band's name. And, suffice to say, I still like the song and I'd like to look for an album. But I have no names and my googling is coming up with a true needle in the haystack. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Perhaps Balcony?

Scott Walker produced Pulp. Don't know if that's there song or whatever.

If the title is correct, it isn't a Pulp song, though the description does sound kind of Pulp.

I'm fairly sure it's Balcony. Though not produced by Scott Walker, he sounds a lot like Bowie and Walker and has a song called Stonedead.

I feel so ashamed for not having any information whatsoever regarding this. I will have to up my Santeria sacrifices to Scott to make up for it.

No, definitely not Pulp. I think it's Balcony, too (it sounds right to my memory - thanks Melissa!), but there's not alot out there about them on the web, and like I said, this is the only song I have. I wonder where it came from that I remember this song as having been produced by Scott? And are the rest of their songs this good? I mean, it's pretty outstanding, especially for a band that seems to have disappeared.

Okay, I found a good and proper site. I'm not sure what this is doing to my expectations, but there it is: http://www.balconymusic.com/music.htm
