The latest Simple Folk Radio show (first broadcast 16th September) is presented by Dillon, with Ian Chambers (Wild Wood Promotions) and features a live recording from Scott Rudd.
“Rudd’s dispatch revolves around the way the music feels and sounds. This isn’t him airing out dirty laundry, on the contrary, his songs resist particulars, and as a result his music will elicit reactions unique to each individual’s disposition. When I sit down to really listen to Rudd’s music, I often find myself scrambling to my stash of industrial sized boxes of Kleenexes. His style affects me with such poignancy because it revolves around a principle what can never be faked: honesty. Rudd comes across as being unafraid of what he’s creating; he’s trying to get to the heart of things” – Kevin Hermann/Gadfly
“Scott Rudd is a lo-fi indie folk artist from Brooklyn, NY. He started playing shows in 2008 and recently toured Europe with his first release Lonely Life. He has played with Jeffrey Lewis, Mute Swimmer, The Shivers. His song ‘Bullshit Love’ was featured on Australian radio’s Triple J Unearthed as well as being included on the Stroke Your Beard compilation. Playing with my Heart was also featured on the Valentines’ Day release. Scott has recently been working on a series of lo-fi, 4-track cassette demos – delving into raw, unpolished and emotional material. His music has been placed somewhere between Elliott Smith & Daniel Johnston, there is a rawness and exposed fragility to his music that is mirrored in his photography work, a unique lens on the world . His performances are intense, sometimes withdrawn, but often punctuated with cathartic outbursts or offbeat stage banter.” – Alex/FRUK
