Scotch Mist

Scotch Mist is an album band that finds deep satisfaction in creating cohesive records, the way they grew up listening to music. Members Ed (lead vocals/guitar), Gianluca (bass/production), and Fern (guitar/production) hail from Venezuela and Brazil, drawing influence from 70s and 80s rock. The project began as a DIY experiment by Ed, with guidance from Fern as well as Matthew Lewin of Magdalena Bay. Early on, Ed developed his voice as a songwriter, finding footing through singles like Big Red Button. In 2020, Ed was introduced to Gianluca and the two began writing songs like yeahyeahyeah that would later become the album crybaby, Scotch Mist’s debut and first as a trio. Following the sudden passing of Ed’s girlfriend Lydia in 2019, the record became a way to process grief through music. Gianluca brought a collaborative ethos, recruiting jazz musicians from the NYC scene and focusing more on performance, emulating production processes of their favorite albums, all distilled into their sonic signature. Their second album, Cabo Blanco, brought Fern and Gianluca further into the fold, blending disco, psych rock, and indie pop. Featuring Mica of Magdalena Bay on Alright and Sir Chloe on Let Go, it introduced a more confident side of the band. The latest single Patterns In The Sky channels the sophistication of late-70s city pop and jazz rock. What began as a solo experiment has grown into a collaborative trio defined by passion and the pursuit of timeless albums.
