I mentioned the excellent Robert Scott solo album “The Green House” a few posts back when sharing a Tiny Ruins song. Tiny Ruins’ Hollie Fullbrook adds her distinctive vocals to five of the songs on the album. This one is delightful folk gem of a love song “Now In Your Hands”:

Mr Robert Scott of Port Chalmers is one of the most prolific songwriters around these parts. You’ll find his work on albums by Electric Blood, The Clean, The Bats, Magick Heads, and his solo albums. And that’s just the main stuff. There are so many side projects and one-offs it’s hard to keep up.

In his spare time he and partner Dallas run Pea Sea Art on the main street of Port Chalmers, where they sell art supplies, local albums, and exhibit and sell local art and crafts. He’s also an accomplished and equally prolific artist. There’s some of his paintings around PopLib HQ in fact – a spacemen and an Otago Harbour landscape, indicating probably his two great painting subject passions.
