Scott’s Tees returns with “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow,” a tender indie folk piece that feels like it drifted in from the edge of a dream. Known for crafting music in the quiet corners of his Edmonton home, he leans once again into a handmade, lo-fi aesthetic, capturing not just the notes, but the room itself. You can almost hear the gentle imperfections of the Tascam recorder and the soft air of the bedroom where it was born. Instead of polishing them out, he embraces them, turning every breath and string ripple into part of the narrative.
The song opens with mellow acoustic picking that glows like the first hint of morning through half closed blinds. There’s a calm patience to it, a willingness to linger. When Scott’s voice enters, it settles lightly on the arrangement, low, reflective, and slightly blurred around the edges, as if he’s singing from a memory he’s still trying to hold onto. As the chorus arrives, layered harmonies expand the space around him. They feel both wistful and illuminated, a warm echo that hovers before dissolving back into the track’s stillness.
Lyrically, the song wanders through the surreal logic of dreams, hinting at moments of clarity that vanish once awake. His writing evokes that familiar tension between searching for meaning and simply surrendering to the moment. Soft, swelling strings lift the song briefly, like a passing gust before the sky settles again. They never overpower; they simply drift through, adding just enough texture to thicken the emotional atmosphere.
Influenced by the introspective roots of Iron & Wine and the weathered sincerity of 90s alternative rock, “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow” feels like a quiet confession, a slow, meditative breath captured before it disappears. It’s gentle, intimate, and quietly unforgettable.
