Hovering in the ether somewhere between languid alt-country yearning and thoughtful indie rock experimentalism, Scout Gillett isnt afraid to aim for something deeply atmospheric on both sides of that musical spectrum on her first full-length album, 2022s No Roof No Floor. The deep echoes and sonic distance of the vintage electronic keyboards and ghostly drum tracks speak of 2 a.m. soul searching just as clearly as the pedal steel guitar and the rootsy, bittersweet heart of her melodies. If the details of her lyrics sometimes get blurred in the mix, the high lonesome keening of her voice is powerfully articulate all by itself, the sound of sorrow borne of love. The songs of No Roof No Floor came out of a painful period in Gilletts life ? after the Brooklyn-based musician and songwriter lost her love to an overdose, she went back to her hometown in Missouri for the first time in years, only to find a community that had sunk deep into economic doldrums and self-medication with alcohol and drugs. No Roof No Floor isnt a broadside against opioid use or the toll of grief, but the albums tone vividly communicates a sense of loss, along with an anxiety that comes with living in a world thats seemingly drifting in a sea of storms. Thats a lot to get across in the space of ten songs, especially on your first try at making an album, and No Roof No Floor sometimes feels as if Gillett is at a loss to show us anything besides the pain thats taken hold in her heart, especially when the production often forces you to reach for the lyric sheet to figure out just what shes saying. There are a few such rookie mistakes on No Roof No Floor, but the moments where the music -- produced by Nick Kinsey in tandem with Gillett, and featuring instrumental contributions from Ellen Kempner of Palehound, David Lizmi of MS MR, and Kevin Copeland of the Big Net -- meshes with Gilletts voice to share a message of anguish and hope outnumber the moments where she and her collaborators get lost. Scout Gillett bares her heart and soul in this music, and she does it effectively enough to draw in the listener -- no small accomplishment -- and a sign she could grow into a major artist in the years to come. ~ Mark Deming
