Who is Scott Swain?

Scott Swain's music blends noir-tinged  alt-rock grit, and a cinematic storytelling style shaped by his lifelong love of film.

After years of fronting bands (Fire at Night, How To Dress a Monster, Ebo), Scott stepped into a solo career to explore a darker, more atmospheric sound—one that sits somewhere between folklore confessionals and the brooding tension of cult cinema.

Since releasing his debut EP Goodbye Country, Goodbye Home in 2018, Scott has continued to carve out a unique space as an artist who turns films into songs—each track inspired by the themes, emotions or characters that leave a mark on him. His music inhabits the darker edges of alternative rock, unfolding with the unfiltered honesty of a late-night confession.

Scott’s newest material pushes deeper into that world: moody, intimate, occasionally gothic, always human. With his upcoming releases, he continues to evolve his trademark blend of narrative depth and atmospheric soundscapes—music made for people who like their stories a little dark, a little beautiful, and a little unsettling.
