Scout Niblett Biography

Scout Niblett is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on September 29, 1973 in Stone, England, United Kingdom. Niblett began performing in clubs in Nottingham during her time at college. She picked her stage name to honor Jean Louise “Scout” Finch who was the main character in Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird.

After releasing the EP’s demo disc “Alene Had It All” (recorded under the name Lion and featuring the drummer Kristian Godard) which consists of guitar, vocals and drums to various record labels, Niblett was asked to join Secretly Canadian who had received samples from Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia. In 2001 Niblett released the 7″ split-single that featured songs: Ohia, contributing the track “Miss My Lion”. Niblett followed up the single with the release of her first album Sweet Heart Fever, released by Secretly Canadian in 2001, which she recorded at Chem Nineteen Recordings in Hamilton, Scotland with producer Andy Miller.

Niblett’s unorthodox musical arrangements have been noted by critics, particularly her sparse instrumentation and dramatic shifts in tempos. In her earlier work, specifically I Am and Kidnapped by Neptune, many of Niblett’s songs consisted of vocals accompanied only by drums; “[I wanted to] make drumming and singing be as accessible as me playing guitar and singing,” she said in a 2004 interview. Her later albums featured Niblett mainly on guitar, and with a backing drummer.

In 2010, Niblett released her fifth studio album, The Calcination of Scout Niblett, marking her debut release with Drag City. The album received positive critical reviews from Pitchfork and Spin, who noted: “[Niblett’s] minimal songs – just one guitar and sporadic drums – unfold laboriously, as though forcing themselves from Niblett’s clenched mouth and hands.” Niblett followed this with a single, No More Nasty Scrubs, in 2012, which featured covers of TLC’s “No Scrubs” and “Nasty” by Janet Jackson. Her sixth studio album, It’s Up to Emma, which she recorded in Portland, Oregon, and mixed the record herself. It was released on 21 May 2013 also on Drag City, and received positive critical acclaim from Pitchfork, Allmusic, and NME.

Niblett has cited as influences a range of grunge-influenced period bands which include Mudhoney, Sonic Youth and Nirvana particularly the guitar of Kurt cobain. She also said that she was greatly inspired by the first album of Hole, Pretty on the Inside (1991): “I was seventeen when I first heard it. For me, the thing that I loved about them and her (Courtney Love) was the anger, and aggressiveness, along with the tender side,” she said. “That was something I hadn’t seen before in a woman playing music. That was hugely influential and really inspiring. Women up ’til then were kind of one-dimensional, twee, sweet, [and] ethereal.”

Emma Louise Niblett (born 29 September 1973), better known by the stage name Scout Niblett, is an English singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Niblett made her debut in 2001 with her first studio album that was full- length Sweet Heart Fever, and went on to release five studio albums. In 2013, she came out with her sixth album”It’s up to Emma that she produced and mixed.

The way she plays her drums is in fact, inspired by a drummer at an open-mic event at the city of Nottingham and would join him with the drums while performing Beatles songs. The drumming style has been a distinct aspect of her recordings together with Steve Albini, whose method is to put the drums at the center of the mix. One illustration of his minimalist approach in songwriting can be seen on “Your Beat Kicks Back Like Death” that is included in I Am and as the B-side of “I’ll Be a Prince.” The song is essentially the drum beat, with a cheerfully performed lyric repeating, “We’re all gonna die! ” The song ends with, “We don’t know when, We don’t know how.” According to Niblett’s biography the song was written by her the track on guitar after having a near- fatal accident on tour in the midst of an icy winter storm. It is also worth noting her mellow version of Althea & Donna’s 1977 reggae hit “Uptown Top Ranking”, which she issued as a single following it gained popularity in live shows.

Niblett relocated to the United States in 2003 to continue pursuing a music career, saying: “The underground music culture in America is big enough so that you can make a living from it without being super famous. The mainstream culture of music [in England] is so different, because it’s all based on selling things… In America you don’t have to enter into that, you can still survive. You don’t have to be in the industry there and you do [in England], so I had to leave”. She has resided in Portland, Oregon since 2005.
