Scout Pare-Phillips' operatically trained soprano voice combined with her seemingly effortless proficiency with the autoharp and baritone guitar create her own unique hybrid of folk storytelling and modern illusionary contrast. Influenced by acoustic legends such as Sibylle Baier and Leonard Cohen, the vocal conviction of Roy Orbison, and still holding poetic court with players like Rowland S. Howard and Diamanda Galas, Scout Paré-Phillips' songwriting lands in the middle of some very intriguing yet complex influences.Recently, Scout's talents have been noticed by Jack White, asking Scout to accompany him on Lazaretto and even star in White's music video, "Would You Fight For My Love?". Crashing crescendos of guitar, percussively strummed autoharp and an array of both acoustic and electronic sculptures by Scout Paré-Phillips with accompaniment by Scout's beloved musical collaborator, Emil Bognar-Nasdor (Dawn of Humans, Rosenkopf), populate her LP, Heed The Call. Scout's torch songs of pure, raw emotional outpouring compliment the rich timbre of her trained voice, which breathes a new life into the contemporary idea of a "folk singer". Her narrative about two lovers being torn apart and brought back together over many years has formed a new genre within acoustic music's storytelling tradition.
