Ann Scott confirms album release

Ann Scott has announced the June 4 release of Flo through her own Raghouse label.
Written and recorded “during a mixed period of solitary downtime and hectic travelling”, it features ‘Love Is In Him’, ‘Killerman’, ‘Return To Die’, ‘Universe’, ‘Lost’, ‘Always’, ‘Candy’, ‘Under The Sun’, ‘Sally’, ‘Untrue’, ‘Hangman’, ‘All Eternity’, ‘Return To Life’ and the title-track.
Her third album, it was part-recorded in Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio and features guest appearances by Karl Odlum, Gemma Hayes and former Hot Press-er Kim Porcelli.
“After months and months, trying out every permutation in accompaniment and treatment and rehearsal there is something very appealing about going into a studio and just bashing out your songs on a plain old acoustic guitar,” Scott says of her trans-Atlantic sojurn. “That was the idea behind going into Electrical Audio. Rob Bochnik – who partly built studio B – had some time off from playing with The Swell Season while I was in Chicago, so we went in to put down some of the songs using that live approach as a starting point.”
