...according to our Phil on 30 April 2009.

Scout Niblett (Nibbles as I affectionately call her) has a new single out on Drag City. I guess now Too Pure is no more (aside from a singles club) she needs a home and Drag City fits nicely with her wonky mentalist sound. This is pretty straight sounding (for her) though to be honest. It's got Scout singing a tuneful tune over some gentle sounding acoustic guitar and bass..... And it's all very minimal. Skronky guitar comes in and drops out as soon as it's arrived (thankfully) and thus the song sort of repeats and builds up nicely until drums come and and more skronky guitars happen. It's one of the best songs I've heard by her to be honest. I like the military ish drums in it (always a sucker for them). I think 'It's Time My Beloved' is quite a simple song but it works well and it's sitting nicely with me.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Scout Niblett returns with her first new recordings since ‘This Fool Can Die Now’.
Drag City are proud to present this opening salvo, ahead of a brand new album.

· Like heat rushing in the door, Scout Niblett is suddenly in
the room again. Her familiar keening moan opines, “It’s
time I danced again,” and the pressure intensifies.
· ‘It’s Time’ unfolds slowly, doing the grind, working her
body and yours. It’s better than Bikram Yoga, and twice
as hot.
· Flip the platter and you get ‘My Beloved’, a grooving,
stop-start hip-bumper, with the drums breakbeating
forward in sway with Scout’s wall of
burning guitars.
· As always, Scout’s the player behind all the sounds on
the record. This one was done at home while a foot of
snow crept around outside her front door, providing the
isolation required to do all the playing and recording and
not go completely mad. Just slightly mad will get the job
done every time.
· This is the first Scout Niblett record to be released
on Drag City. Both sides of this single are brand new
songs from Scout Niblett, and just a taste of things to
come on her first Drag City full length album.
