Bight, a loop in rope or line—a hitch or knot tied on the bight is one
tied in the middle of a rope, without access to the ends.

Scrimshire’s highly anticipated third opus, “Bight”, exemplifies progressions made both as a singer-songwriter and producer, pushing forward from his acclaimed second album, “The Hollow”. It’s an album replete with references to one man’s love for the deep blue sea, songs about being adrift and conversely “Beached”.

Once again Scrimshire has hooked up with two of his favourite vocalists, Resonators front woman Faye Houston and long-time collaborator Stac, but it’s on this album that his voice really comes into its own. Scrimshire himself takes centre stage on vocal duties on the current single, “Convergent”, the melancholic “Drift” and haunting “Siren”, as well as dueting with Stac on the captivating “Beached” and with Faye on the rousing “Blister”.

Acoustic Roots

It’s not only on the microphone that Scrimshire has raised the bar though – he single-handedly produced the whole album with a more electronic feel, touching on ambient and more dance floor sounds whilst still keeping in line with his soul , jazz and acoustic roots.

“Bight” will be launched live in London in early June, followed by a mini UK tour and a host of festivals, including Soundwave Croatia and the Southern Soul Festival, Montenegro.

All to come, but in the meantime, enjoy this lesson in synthesised soul from one of Wah Wah 45’s finest.

“Artist of the week!” Bandcamp (June 4th 2013)

“the London producer/vocalist utilizes an eclectic range of influences ranging from disco to fusion to more contemporary electronic styles.” xlr8r

“A true musician… finely executed sounds.” Art Jefferson, http://colorising.com

“Impressive.. it’s not going to disappoint his many fans” Juno Download (UK)

“A very personal musical journey with a wholly honest and unique vibe banishing any hint of cliché. It’s a coming-of age story that I can only imagine Scrimshire never envisaged producing. And that’s what’s so captivating – it feels like music written from the heart without promise, predetermination or purpose. For someone experiencing tussles of the heart and mind having moved to the other side of the world, it connects.” Stop, Look, Listen Blog (Australia)

“a smokey, and at times lonely, voyage through the brains of one of the most eclectically-minded producers currently operating. It’s no wonder then that Bight draws on such a varied pool of influences; at one moment, it’s trading in ambient, almost folkie, meanderings, the next it’s underpinned by static beats, drawing it into another realm altogether.” Planetnotion.com

“A very complex album where he really finds his voice. Its quite fitting that it centers around his love of the deep blue sea as it makes you want to head to the beach and listen to this until your hearts content.”
