Road Dog Booking Presents:Scout Gillett 'Tough Touch' Album Release / EU Tour kick offJackie West 'Silent Century' Album Releasewith support from Raybody On Scout Gillett’s defining sophomore album Tough Touch, the Missouri-born, now LA-based, former Brooklynite emerges from years of relentless motion. Tough Touch, her first release for new label home Slouch Records, explores the pain and life force that such vulnerability brings, and the challenge of finding oneself amidst a world that's always changing. Rendered with the gritty, glittery cosmic twang that makes Gillett's sound so singular, Tough Touch finds her breaking new ground as a lyricist and exploring captivating, undefinable sonic terrain, each moment energized by her powerhouse vocalsWhen asked how Tough Touch differs from her previous work, she says: “These songs explore and explode on a deeper level. I've only gotten to know myself, others, and the world more with making music. Specifically with this record, I learned to have more confidence and to never settle for less or give up. I learned how to love myself and others more. When to stand my ground and follow my intuition–though it may be against the grain.” Tough Touch is the sound of an artist who trusted the process even when it was frightening, who stayed vulnerable even when it was painful, and who emerged with something undeniably her own'“It’s me, baby, you”, Jackie West sings on the opening track of her new record, Silent Century. Like a hall of mirrors, West’s sophomore record unfolds like a playful conversation between the Hudson Valley-based artist and herself. What emerges is a remarkable portrait of femininity and fluidity, of violence and forgiveness, of our capacity to heal. The power of Silent Century resides in West’s ability to make small moments ring out and resonate just as much as loud ones. On the title track, she investigates the objectification of our bodies—who owns them, and at what price? Small details (“plastic underwear", “nightmare of dismantled pleasure”) illuminate centuries of gendered silencing. As West embraces her multitudes, whether choosing to speak up or listen quietly, she now claims sovereignty for herself.with support from Raybody"classic singer-songwriter shit that gets weird. a bit maniacal but warm."“Puddle” evokes shades of both indie rock and Raybody’s orchestral inspirations, building atop stately guitar chords with lush and meticulously crafted arrangements. She gradually fills the mix with swirls of woodwinds, strings, and layered vocal harmonies, incorporating hints of jazzy dissonance alongside sprawling full-band crescendos. The results shine with the warm orchestral beauty of Raybody’s previous work but they also brim with a newfound energy, moving effortlessly between jazzy grooves, cinematic drama, and airy folk confessionals.
