Sound it Out # 57: Scout Niblett – "Gun" (free MP3)
Emma "Scout" Niblett kind of scares me. Her songs are intense and the characters she inhabits in them are so intimately drawn that you wonder whether they're fictional or real.
Her newest record It's Up to Emma is powerful and manic. Spartan drum and guitar parts serve to accent raw vocals that sound backed-in-a-corner furious. "Gun" is one of the best vengeful spurned-woman songs I've heard, and I'm excited to give it to you as a free download below.
