Bianca Scout, a talented dancer, songwriter, and performer, has taken a bold stylistic turn with her latest album under a new alias. After releasing an incredibly unique choral/downbeat album earlier this year, Scout has embraced a doe-eyed, all-hooks synthpop sound on her new record for Night School. This album, highly recommended for fans of Chromatics, classic IDIB, Sally Shapiro, or Jessy Lanza, showcases Scout’s versatility and showcases her ability to captivate listeners with her nostalgic synthpop melodies.
Teaming up with fellow English north easterner Martyn Reid, Scout, now performing under the name Marina Zispin, delivers a masterful performance on ‘Love and Death’. The album beautifully combines Scout’s ethereal vocals with melancholic synths and cosmic energy, creating a hypnotic and euphoric pop experience. With its DIY charm and sensual arpeggios, the album evokes the feeling of stumbling upon a hidden gem in a French library LP.
Opening with the sultry beats and radiant harmonies of ‘Flowers n the Sea’, Scout confidently takes on the role of a synthpop artist, reminiscent of classic Glass Candy. Tracks like ‘Ski Resort’ showcase her captivating vocals, while ‘Backworth Golf Club’ seamlessly blends elements of electro and autotuned vocals. The album takes a more psych and Giallo-inspired turn with ‘Hymn’, drawing clear comparisons to Molly Nilsson or Alice Cohen. ‘Surprise Party’ closes the album with its melancholic dance-worthy beats, leaving a lasting impression on listeners.
Overall, this album is a memorable and addictive offering from a rising star in the music industry. Bianca Scout’s ability to effortlessly transition between genres and create captivating synthpop melodies is a testament to her talent. With her latest release, Scout has solidified her position as one to watch in the industry.
