"The Drift is a critically acclaimed album from singer-songwriter Scott Walker, released on the 4AD label in May 2006. It has been cited by many critics and fans alike as a disturbing and complex album that departs from Scott Walker's previous albums while still remaining true to his experimental roots.

The Drift is Walker's first album composed entirely of new material since 1995's Tilt. In the interim, Walker's released output comprised a few instrumental tracks on the soundtrack to the film Pola X and a track on the soundtrack to the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, as well as a few compilations of previously released material, including the retrospective box set 5 Easy Pieces.

The sound and subject matter for the album is unrelentingly dark and unsettling, often juxtaposing quiet sections with sudden loud noise to induce discomfort in the listener. Subjects include torture, disease, 9/11, and numerous subjects in keeping with the horror genre.

The album was recorded over a period of 17 months at Metropolis Studios in Chiswick, London, with orchestra recorded in one day at George Martin's AIR Studios in Hampstead, London.

French singer Vanessa Contenay-Quinones appears as the voice of Clara Petacci on "Clara"."
