Scout Niblett “Can’t Fool Me Now”

The arrangement for this song is astonishing – you get the intense, sorta uncomfortable intimacy of a typical Scout Niblett song, but the subtle string parts make it feel a lot more epic. It’s not your usual “big bombastic string arrangement” either – for the most part, you get this high, trilling anxious sound that tempers the raw anger of her lyrics with a queasy unease. It’s perfect, because this is pretty much exactly how realizing that you’ve let yourself be fucked over by someone can feel.
