Blake Scott Fever

Blake Scott, singer of celebrated Melbourne band The Peep Tempel has debuted his first taste of solo material. 'Fever' produced by John Lee, is the first single from forthcoming album 'Niscitam'. 

Every bit the cut of Australian cultural critique fans would expect, the song explores the sinister nature of alcoholism in this county, and its affects on a wayward psyche. Taunting and alluring, Fever is equal parts troubling and sultry in its delivery of succour.

Fever heralds the upcoming release of Niscitam the debut solo album from Scott, which is due on October 9 via Wing Sing Records. 

Better known as a member of beloved Melbourne three-piece The Peep Tempel, Blake is revered for his character driven lyrics and pointed songwriting, evident across the band's three critically acclaimed albums.

Blake partnered with multi-instrumentalist and engineer John Lee to produce the album at Phaedra Studios in Melbourne with musicians Jacey Ashton and Nick Finch. It remains voluminous and bold in arrangement, whilst taking a more introspective path lyrically.

The album explores fantasy and memory, existential angst, and is the artist's attempt to reconcile febrile hopes for a just and peaceful world against the wild and cataclysmic buffet before him. The result is an astonishing debut album, a musical salve for those enduring the pressures and mundanity of modern life against a backdrop of Utopian dreams.

Devastatingly personal and culturally prescient, Niscitam is a piercing and uncomfortably satiating album to absorb this Spring.
