GILLETT SCOUT - CD NO ROOF NO FLOOR

Popis - NO ROOF NO FLOOR:
A place called 'home' is a tough thing to pinpoint for someone who's constantly in motion. Scout Gillett knows this well, but since relocating from Kansas City in 2017, she's found one in Brooklyn's DIY scene, playing in multiple live bands and even starting her own booking company to organize local shows. In the standstill of the pandemic, she sat with the raw emotion of the song sketches she'd written. The songs were more vulnerable than any of her prior work, and it was a while before the notion of sharing them even occurred to her. The arrangements, too, reflect Scout's rural roots and her indie spirit; a fusion of upbeat, guitar-driven melodies and folk/country instrumentation like pedal steel, harmonica, and tenor banjo. All of these elements are underpinned by Scout's signature soaring, velvet vocals and open-hearted lyricism - she sails from a hushed whisper to dulcet spoken word to a cathartic belt with ease.
