Robert Scott (The Bats and The Clean) Announces Solo Album + Download

Flying Nun announced this morning the release of a new solo album by the legendary Robert Scott of The Bats and The Clean. The album is called End Run Together and you can download a track from it below.

Press Release:

Robert Scott’s list of music projects over the years reads like a who’s who of alternative New Zealand music. 

From his role as bass-player, song-writer and non-Kilgour in legendary New Zealand noisy jangle-pop pioneers The Clean and as singer, guitarist and songwriter in The Bats, he also helmed the acclaimed Magick Heads, not to mention fronting a bewildering variety of less well-known groups from the long running Electric Blood to the short-lived Gina Rocco & the Rockettes.

In turn he has contributed to numerous other Flying Nun groups, while drawing and painting the cover art for many memorable Flying Nun album sleeves.  Therefore it seems fitting that his latest solo alum, Ends Run Together, has found its way onto the new Flying Nun Records. 

Jam-packed full of pop hooks and intelligent arrangements, Ends Run Together will be released in New Zealand in September and in Australia on Mistletone Records. 

Indeed, Flying Nun manager Roger Shepherd said first single; “Daylight - a driving kraut-post-rock masterpiece featuring Lesley Paris (Look Blue Go Purple) on drums -  is too good, not to give away”. So we are, with ‘Daylight’ currently available as a free download from: www.flyingnun.co.nz.
