Drawing on influences from Americana, Country, and Alt Indie, he decided to follow a solo career. In 2017 he began writing and recording his debut EP - 'Goodbye Home, Goodbye Country'. Thanks to a successful Crowdfunding campaign it was released in 2018 via Resonating Wood Recordings. Being a fan of Cinema, each of Scott’s tracks are about a particular film (check out the track Like Nothing Else, for instance: based on the film Event Horizon). Fans of Nick Cave, The National, (early) Radiohead, or even Sufjan Stevens will be well at home with Scott Swain’s music.
