Scout Durwood has released
Comedy Electronica Vol. 1, her second digital video series with accompanying EP. The five song set is available today on
all streaming services, and all five videos are available
here.
For
Comedy Electronica Vol. 1, Durwood once again collaborated with the Grammy-Nominated producer, Dave Darling (Def Leppard, Queen Latifah, Tom Waits, Brian Setzer). "We took inspiration for
Comedy Electronica from all facets of the pop world. I wanted every song to have its own unique vibe, but also for the album to be cohesive as a whole, and honestly, I really feel like we nailed it. Every track has its own
personality, which is even more apparent in the videos,” explains Durwood. “Comedy gains so much when it gets to be experienced visually, which is why every song has a video, and each of the videos have totally independent concepts."
