Long Drove is Scott’s debut album from Australian label Room40 and the title is a location in the Fens of East Anglia that swells with sonorities of rural trauma and Anthropogenic narratives. The six songs on this album are each a site-specific sonic study of the Fens, specifically the Holme Fen and New Decoy nature reserves. They transform imperceptible symptoms of climate change into perceptible sonorities that swell and sonically drift into intense ambient electronic composition.
