Scott’s Tees returns with a quietly arresting new single, “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow,” released 15 September 2025, a lo-fi daydream from a bedroom in Edmonton that somehow feels as wide as the prairie sky outside. Made entirely by one person under the Scott’s Tees moniker, the song leans into influences like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Iron & Wine, but filters them through a soft-focus folk lens.
Written to reimagine and construct the wonderland of dreams in the encapsulation of music, recorded on a Tascam with Audacity, it carries that unmistakable handmade warmth that makes every creak, breath, and string buzz feel like part of the story. The harmonies in the chorus are the real centerpiece, glowing in that slightly haunted, slightly hopeful way that sticks around long after.
The track starts off gently, with warm, slow acoustic strums trailing like early-morning light creeping across a room. The singer comes in relaxed and unhurried, with his voice soft and low, before soaring and recalling the mystic intrigue of dreams, as he sings, “Visions above explaining everything / They don’t make sense when I am awake.”
Further blooming the track, you will find soft strings swelling up behind him, just enough to feel like a passing weather front, before they fade again, leaving the guitar and voice to hold the space.
As the song unfurls, the harmonies bloom in the chorus, giving the track its pulse. They hover ethereally and lift the song, as it provides a penumbra for the singer to roll his words out and about. The whole thing moves patiently, true to its title, never rushing the emotion or the imagery. Instead it drifts, letting the ideas settle like dust after a storm.
“We Move As Fast As Storms Allow” may be lo-fi in execution, but the heart is big, steady, and unmistakably present, like a small song with weather in its bones.
