Listen to Tom Scott's New Album 'ANITYA'

Feeling in some ways a continuation of the warts and all, soul-baring funk of Home Brew's 2023 reunion record Run It Back, ANITYA is the first official solo album from Avondale icon Tom Scott, whose multi award-winning career in the expanded field of hip-hop also includes Avantdale Bowling Club, @Peace and Average Rap Band. The always outspoken Young, Gifted and Broke co-founder directs his focus inwards on ANITYA, a heart-baring healing journey spanning twelve immaculately recorded and arranged soul-jazz / RnB tracks, laid down with a murderers' row of Aotearoa talents — all heaped praise upon in Scott's crucial liner notes, which cheekily describe the new record as "Van Morrison covers band plays Here, My Dear."

Intimate, bruised and regularly brutally raw, ANITYA transforms flaws into strengths, expressing the painful introspection and personal growth required following a broken relationship, while also channeling the fearless spirit of the soul / jazz pioneers Scott loves so much. Sporting beautifully detailed, hand-crafted cover artwork by Laura Williams, be sure to grab the limited vinyl LP edition of ANITYA from good record stores, plus don't miss Scott's launch extravaganza at Tāmaki Makaurau's opulent The Civic on 1st November — brought to you by 100% Good...
