“Fade Out” is a song “with several facets,” says B.C. songwriter Brandon Wolfe Scott (Yukon Blonde) about his new single. “On the top level it's a song about modern society and how we, as a society, are losing the ability to focus due to the accessibility and obsession with social media. Unfortunately, I often feel as if our attention spans are lapsing because we are so used to receiving information at lightning speed and being kept entertained by these instantaneous hits of dopamine, and that we can’t sit and focus without reaching out for those moments.  

The second level is how this all affects me personally in general. Those close to me, and certainly my partner, are consistently telling me that I easily tend to ‘fade out’ during conversations and it's actually been jokingly coined as ‘hologramming’ by friends, but that didn't roll off the tongue as nicely in the context of the song! 

And on a third level this song is about very specific situations that started to surface due to living in close quarters with my partner during the pandemic. As lockdown started to stretch on longer and longer, these habits of ‘fading out’ were becoming more prominent and noticeable, and inevitably started to weigh on our relationship. I wanted to write a song to myself as a reminder, almost like a mantra, to stay in the present and accountable.”

Today, Brandon Wolfe Scott is sharing his version of Neil Young’s “Razor Love” featuring vocals from STACEY. "When Silver & Gold came out in 2000, I was still in senior high, working at a small record shop at the time,” says Scott. “The best part of working there was getting shipments on new release day and listening to them in the store. I can remember hearing ‘Razor Love’ and thinking, Neil's still got the goods! It's a timeless writing style that stops you in your tracks. I ended up recording this version almost 2 years ago. I would revisit the session from time to time but the vocal never felt right. After revisiting it again this past year, I ended up singing a low harmony under the entire main vocal and that's what sparked the idea that this would make a great duet if the right voice was on it.   

I knew I had to reach out to STACEY, I didn't know her well at the time but was a big fan of her songwriting style and loved her voice. After sending her the session to see if she'd be into taking a crack at it, a day later she sent the session back with two vocal passes. I ended up keeping her first take, her laid back delivery was exactly what the song needed and everything fell into place."

"When Brandon sent me the track I loved it instantly. His production radiates nostalgia and the dual vocal was so sweet and intimate,” says STACEY. “I thought ‘I’ll just try it quick’ one night while laying in bed this past summer. I never sing laying down and didn’t intend for it to be the vocal take that we used but we ended up feeling it was the best one. I love the song and it’s extra special because it sparked a great collaborative and songwriting relationship between Brandon and I. Thanks be to Neil."

Best known as the guitarist and co-songwriter in the JUNO Award nominated Indie rock group Yukon Blonde, his latest EP Burden On Your Shoulders came together in the winter months of 2019, when the band found themselves with time off between tours, giving Scott the opportunity to turn his tiny living room space into a minimal recording set up.

“Being fully immersed in the recording process became a comforting experience and a constant learning curve. Working at my own pace, deliberately tracking with limitations, helped me shape a cohesive sound that feels like the most genuine thing I’ve done.”

Scott has settled into a natural songwriting style - paying homage to the golden era of the 70’s drawing inspiration from Al Stewart, Todd Rundgren and Beatle favourite; George Harrison - whilst still maintaining a modern approach through his introspective lyrics laced with lush harmonies.

Tomorrow, Brandon Wolfe Scott will release Burden On Your Shoulders EP via Dine Alone Records. To celebrate the release he is sharing the new video for “Summers On Fire”, a song about climate change and the negative impact humans have on the planet. “Having spent a few years living in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, rising temperatures and wildfires have become an annual summer tragedy along with the coast of California, and of course the absolute catastrophe currently taking place in Australia,” says Brandon.

“The narrative is not me preaching, but more about stepping outside my own echo chamber of ignorance. Looking to the future generation I think it's important to inspire change and hope in the face of sadness and ecological grief."
