Scout Niblett
Scout Niblett is Nottingham, England's answer to all the brash, intelligent, and honest female songwriters of America in the early 21st century. Continually compared to Cat Power and fellow countrywoman PJ Harvey, Niblett (real name: Emma Louise) can also stand on her own, with a strong, stark voice and a penchant for songs containing only drums and vocals. She is also known for having a fondness for wigs, as she is seen in many of her photos donning a blond wig. Her lyrics, however, display a more serious side, as they create their own place where love and its com...[more]

The beguiling Scout Niblett of Nottingham, England, is a somebody who's worth getting to know. First off, she's going to be around for some time; second, she's not the sort of lass who dips a toe in the water only to opt not to take a swim. Her debut album "Sweet Heart Fever" is the first fruit of the artistic partnership with the inventive drummer Kristian Goddard, and is a pretty incredible and grand unveiling of her talent for songcraft. Bringing to mind the harrowing intensity of PJ Harvey's debut "Dry, [ read more ]

It's been said before, and we don't mind repeating it: Scout Niblett is a visionary on her own artistic path. She's one of those rare individuals unencumbered by paths forged by those who foraged through the wilds before her. Her new album, "I Am," is the much-anticipated follow-up to her debut, "Sweet Heart Fever." On this dynamic full-length, Scout Niblett (née Emma Louise Niblett) sashays from three-piece rock songs, to solo acoustic ukulele songs, to what have become her signature, drum-and-vocal songs [ read more ]

Scout Niblett records with Steve Albini, has toured with Cat Power, and reduces audiences around the world to jibbering wrecks with the sheer force of her performances. A pretty girl in a wig, playing the drums and singing so loudly and gleefully it sounds like her lungs might burst: 'It's all for you!' she yelps onstage, like a kid offering a present of slugs and petals and drawings. It's all for you! This is her first US release for Too Pure, following 2003's Steve Albini-recorded I Am. "This is th [ read more ]

On the follow-up to her much-lauded debut "Sweet Heart Fever," Scout Niblett has pretty much wiped the slate clean. A collection of songs that are minimal in their structure and arrangement, but complex in their passion of execution, "I Conjure Series" is a raw and bold excursion into the poetic universe of a vagabond of the new world. Comprised of seven songs on which she performs all the instruments (four are drums & vocals songs, two are guitar and vocals, and one is vocals-only), this mini-album was rec [ read more ]

Scout Niblett's new EP kicks off with her unique rendition of live favourite "Uptown Top Ranking" (originally a hit on the UK pop charts in 1978 by reggae group Althea & Donna). As usual, she infuses the song with her own signature sense of passion & play, and carrying it all is her incredible voice which Venus magazine described as "a full-bodied caterwaul that could rival Gillian Welch, Neko Case, and even Johnny Cash." The second song "Dare" is perhaps her most assured step toward pop music, motioning to [ read more ]
