Tips of the Tongue: Casey Scott

You’ve heard Casey here, but her voice deserves its own entry. Usually chanteuse of Portland’s enchantingly named Red Venus Love Army, she’s the pop star of Todd Bishop’s jazz variations of Gainsbourg classics on 69 Année Erotique: Todd Bishop’s Pop Art 4 Plays the Music of SG. And while the damp biscuit saxophone on their adaptation of Je t’aime only confirms my worst suspicions about the relationship of jazz & sex, Casey’s vocals („Come and go, go and come“) jostle the whole song just to where it belongs – on a waterbed in a dim-lit room, with some nonchalant tips of the tongue, slow-motion style.
