Synopsis

Album Description
This is her first US release for Too Pure, following 2003's Steve Albini-recorded "I Am". She's "a reincarnation of a Louisiana bayou blues songstress, reborn to tell her tales of love and desire"--Pitchfork. "This is the sound of an angry, explosive anti-waif with a back catalogue full of the wonder of heartache and the magic of loss. That and a heck of a chip on her guitar"--Austin Chronicle. Look for her on tour with Electrelane in June.
 

CD Reviews

These people are silly and this is a fabulous album. sly alb

"sly sly sly. these people lie. this is a sly album. !These people are nuts. ! This is her best album. It flows perfectly and the lyrics are somewhat whimsical and I like them all. The instrumentation is really amazing and unique (who cares if she doesn't use a ukulele). Her voice is really unique and everything fits really well. The changes in the song are really interesting. And anyway I am writing this review to say " what are these people giving it 2-3 stars talking abotu". I have listened to this album over and over and over and over ever since i got it. I don't understand how someone could say she sounds that much like Bjork, she really doesn't, not even when she was in sugarcubes and such... Scout is raw cold tender unpretentious uniqueness and she stands on her own. she doesn't need you to appreciate her. you can tell she is pleased. kidnapped by neptune is a fun song. it has a certain feeling that can go different places but definitely has a certain simple feel. fun or thought provoking. it grows and grows. drums speak. early 90s drum. fun lyrics. sing it with a friend in a car watching the roads drive by you. you'll like it best this way. anyone have any recomendations or comments comment on me. this city. chase paper. nice instrumentation somewhat sly and different feeling from the rest but somehow shares it all. nice song order. wolfie. leaves you wanting to listen to it again or at least your favorite songs. give it a chance."

"A month ago I saw Scout Niblett play live, expecting to see some whiny girl with a guitar. Much to my surprise she totally blew me away. She is a really sexy small girl with an amazing voice and she rocks out on guitar while the drummer pounds away madly. Her lyrics are sweet and comforting. Listen to this album, and go see them play! NOW!"
Genius, through and through!

"Don't be led astray by superficial comparisons to Cat Power, Scout Niblett is the first artist since Kurt Cobain to authentically channel the passion of the screaming blues. From a hushed whisper to a full blown rocking wail, listen to this cd at the risk of spontaneous combustion. It's that hot!"
