Tom James Scott

Tom James Scott is an English multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser based on the north-west coast of England. His quiet, slowly unfolding records move between piano, guitar and keyboards, with bowed strings, field recordings and electronics, and some of their titles come from the Cumbrian dialect. Scott has released solo music since Red Deer, on labels including Students of Decay, Bo'Weavil Recordings, Where To Now? and Carnivals, and he founded his own imprint, Skire, in 2013. His Students of Decay LP Mine Is the Heron was his first solo record after a pause following 2017.
