Hudson Scott - Panning For Gold

Taking the soaring highs of falling in love and dragging them back down to earth, Hudson Scott’s latest is a confounding mix of emotions. “Truth be told, I like to fall in love,” he croons, “I’m panning for gold”. Sifting through the dirt in the search of something glittering, it’s gloomy but without trace of sadness, laced in 80s atmospherics.

Propelled along by squiffy horns and the one-two production wizardry of Duncan Tootill and XL’s go-to desk bloke Rodaidh McDonald, ‘Panning For Gold’ comes off like tropical music for an inner-city night time stroll, holding overwhelming euphoria at a safe distance.
