This is UK multi-instrumentalist
Simon Scott
's second album for Miasmah. He might still be best known for his tenure as the backbone of influential shoegazers
Slowdive
, but after his debut solo effort
Navigare
in 2009, he showed that there was far more to his oeuvre. With an ease and fluidity that eschews the usual trappings of the genre, he injected Slowdive's freeflowing bliss into the kind of blackened soundscapes the Miasmah label has made its calling card and gave the sound a rich, multi-layered quality that was effortlessly enticing.
Bunny
sees him take on a plethora of themes and ideas, distilling them into a coherent, well-defined narrative. The overall premise of the record is apparent from the very beginning, and might surprise some with its inspired take on the blackened jazz and smokey Americana heard in
Paris, Texas
or
Mulholland Dr.
. It would do Scott a disservice to simply label the music as
Lynch
ian however; his success is to treat the layers of instrumentation (drums, guitars, cello, synthesizers) with a masterful fluidity, allowing the influences to melt into a delicate and delectable whole. Occasionally Scott acknowledges his shoegazing past, nudging the sound towards the blurred haze of his former band, but even these moments are cavernous enough for us to imagine them oozing from a Midwestern jukebox in an abandoned suburban diner.
Bunny
is an ambitious and daring journey for an artist who refuses to stay still; and it might just be the best road trip you've never taken.
