Establishing the mood with a dimensional electric guitar, accompanied by strummed and rhythmic acoustic guitar, Scott’s Tees opens We Move as Fast as Storms Allow with atmospheric vocals as he sings, “I fell asleep with all the things I had in mind…”
We immediately connect with the poetic prowess and introspective depth that manifests. It is clear that Scott’s Tees is writing from a place of authenticity with a self-realized nature. The message feels relatable and cathartic.
In essence, We Move as Fast as Storms Allow serves as a dream-inspired song that explores the fleeting and unpredictable nature of life. It references the emotional turbulence that comes with our shared and individual lived experiences.
Through the deeply reflective lyrics and haunting harmonies, Scott’s Tees captures the tension between longing and acceptance. He suggests that, like storms, our experiences and emotions move at their own pace. His advice is that we can only flow with them rather than control them. There is no doubt that We Move as Fast as Storms Allow would be perfect for a range of sync deals – perhaps a coming of age movie or TV show like My Life with the Walter Boys.
We absolutely love the astral synth lines and the panning echoes harmonies. We also learn that the track was recorded entirely in a bedroom setting, using a Tascam recorder and Audacity, ergo exuding its charming lo-fi authenticity. The raw production perfectly complements the introspective prose.
Scott’s Tees cites a diverse palette of influences, including Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Iron and Wine. This fusion of grunge-inspired intensity and folk subtlety manifests in a unique sonic identity for the elusive artist.
Naturally, we are in awe, and have added We Move as Fast as Storms Allow to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Scott’s Tees‘ wider discography, including Stuck, and Even If I Run.
