Chrysanths ‘Leave No Shadow’ Album Launch
Wed 16 Oct 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Chrysanths (Modern Studies front woman Emily Scott) launches her lush orchestral LP ‘Leave No Shadow’.
Emily Scott has led experimental folk-tinged chamber-pop outfit Modern Studies for a decade, releasing four critically acclaimed albums on Fire. Scott’s style is nostalgic, cool and poetic, and she has been described simultaneously as out of her time, and timeless. A regular on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 6, her writing typically displays distinctive odd time-signatures, nostalgic lyrics, and expressive and intuitive instrumentation. Scott has recently joined the fold at Chemical Underground as Chrysanths, with LP ‘Leave No Shadow’, a set of reflective, down-tempo piano songs with string orchestra, out in September.
Initially written as a solo piano project, and then expanded to its full orchestral potential, ‘Leave No Shadow’ has classic songwriting at its core.
Support comes Edinburgh pop artist, musician and legend, Hailey Beavis.
"Emily Scott’s voice is a beautiful thing. It flies like Sandy Denny, but has the wounded intimacy of Beth Gibbons and the precision of Christine McVie"MOJO
"Her voice is cool, clear and unsentimental, with echoes of some of the great English stylists, from Sandy Denny to Jacqui McShee"UNCUT
