The second LP from the elusive Brooklyn-based chanteuse SCOUT PAPE-PHILLIPS. Crashing crescendos of guitar, autoharp, cello and keyboards, combined with acoustic and electronic percussion by longtime musical collaborator, Emil Bognar-Nasdor (DAWN OF HUMAS, ROSENKOPF), provide a lush backdrop befitting SCOUT’s torch songs, complimenting the rich timbre of her classically-trained voice. A photographer, filmmaker, model, songwriter and vocalist, SCOUT’s solo career evolved from her illustrious foundation as a trained opera singer as well as songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and backing balladeer for the Baltimore based, post-punk/country act, The STERLING SISTERS. The daughter of a Mississippi country singer, her contributions as vocalist and bass player helped to distinguish the SISTERS as tightly-woven, dark, surreal Americana. SCOUT’s array of musical talents were ready to be unleashed with a solo effort.
