SCOTT SWAIN

Scott Swain – It’s Too Late

Drawing on influences from Americana, Country, and Alt Indie, Scott Swain is a UK based singer-songwriter (with no fixed abode as he travels around in his camper-van with his dog at the moment).

Although he has been likened to Nick Cave, and even The National, his main source of influence is cinema.

Each of his songs is written about particular films which have left their mark on him. In June 2017 he began writing and recording his debut EP, which was finally completed in January 2018 thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

On It’s Too Late, Scott says:

“It’s too late is mainly inspired by the French film Irreversible – a hard to watch film about taking the wrong actions following a deeply traumatic event. The overall vibe of the music is inspired by one of my favorite bands, The Smashing Pumpkins”.

When listening to his music, a glass of good bourbon is optional.

Scott Swain – ‘Like Nothing Else’ Video Premiere

Scott says: “This song is written about the film ‘Event Horizon’. I remember being blown away when I first saw this film. It’s a slow burner, in so far as it takes some time for things to get going (essential for the tension to build), but when it does get going things go from intense to just damn dark!

Enlightenment is always sold to us as a positive thing which arises from discipline, dedication, and peaceful reflection; in this film, however, Dr Weir (Sam Neil) gains enlightenment through utter darkness, from literally going to hell and coming out on the other side.

The mistake he makes, in my opinion, is letting this darkness consume and control him. We all have darkness in us – call it Thanatos if you want – however, we don’t have to let this eat us up and destroy us”.
