Lola Scott - 'The Eviction Song'

With only a few tracks under her belt, Lola Scott is gaining quite the reputation on the Sydney music scene. And new single ‘The Eviction Song’ shows us just why with it’s addictive slacker indie-pop vibes. 

A self-proclaimed band-geek gone rough, Lola Scott started out as a session musician before embarking on this solo adventure of hers. ‘The Eviction Song’ is the first taster of Lola’s debut EP ‘1/4 Life Crisis’, which is due out in 2021, and it is a perfect introduction to what we can expect. It is sarcastic, cheeky and full of nostalgia, and combines all those personalities with effortless cool alt-pop indie hooks. 

Of the song, Scott offers, "The 1/4 Life Crisis EP is a biographical recount of events that happened in my life after getting out of a long term relationship and moving back into a shared house full of benders. Earlier this year my housemates and I were evicted from that house. We’re not sure what for but can only assume all the house parties and noise complaints didn’t help. When I wrote 'Eviction Song' it was my 6th move in the last four years (add another 2 moves since then). My 1/4 life crisis has taught me that there aren’t many stable things in life other than those ride or die friendships that feel like family (+family). The more emotional breakdowns we faced together as housemates, the closer we got to each other and luckily the eviction did not kill our friendships. And a couple of us have found a new place to continue the benders that probably got us kicked out in the first place. You can never please everyone so just treat people right and enjoy the time you get to spend with your close friends."
