Scout Niblett

The beguiling Scout Niblett of Nottingham, England, is a somebody who is worth getting to know. Her debut album SWEET HEART FEVER brings to mind the harrowing intensity of PJ Harvey's debut DRY, Scout Niblett's first is an album whose exterior calm is betrayed by a fantastic inner storm -- the likes of which the legions of card-carrying members of the Trans-global Network of Damaged Souls love to immerse themselves in, if only to feel a little more potent & vital for a forty-minute stretch. The dreamlike landscape has a meandering stream of consciousness feel to it, underscored by a few visceral song fragments that have an unresolved yet wholly intuitive feel to them.
