The best songwriter of his generation would have been 38 today. If you're struggling, this might help. Love you Scott and miss you every single day.
Scott Hutchison's bandmates tell us about Coldplay honouring him with new track 'Champion Of The World' – listen - NME
Just wanted to say Pedestrian Verse needs to be on more decade best of lists. What a phenomenal album. We miss you Scott
probably my favorite album, period. I don't know what someone looks for in an album that Pedestrian Verse doesn't deliver. the producer Leo Abrahams even said that he wouldn't change anything about that album when reminiscing on music he's worked on.
Revisiting it now after a very long while, but you're right. PV definitely belongs on a best of the decade list. Every second of it is meaningful.
2013 was a bum time for me so I tend to mentally block out how awesome Pedestrian Verse is, especially since my fave of theirs is The Midnight Organ Fight and their best song is Not Miserable I need to re-listen for sure
For the longest time I would have said Organ Fight was my favorite of theirs but the one I listen to the most is definitely PV
Going to this tomorrow so I've decided to revisit the band's back catalogue, bar the songs I absolutely cannot bear to listen to. (Floating in the Forth, Still Want to Be Here, Death Dream, Die Like A Rich Boy) Have mostly avoided everything since Scott's death so it's fitting this is the first song that shows up on shuffle.
I've been listening to the Owl John album way more than is healthy recently. part of me wants to say it's a forgotten masterpiece - so raw and real and it flirts with so many styles so well "Don't Take off the Gloves" is perfect either way
