New Audio: Hannah Scott Shares Thoughtful and Politically charged “Sitting In The Dark”

Suffolk-born, London-based folk artist Hannah Scott will be releasing her newest EP Threads on June 19, 2026. Threads is the follow-up to Scott’s widely praised third album, 2024’s Absence of Doubt.

The EP marks the first effort the Suffolk-born, London-based has both written and self-produced. She worked alongside acclaimed engineer Adrian Hall and recorded piano, acoustic guitar and vocals at home — with a makeshift vocal booth in her wife’s wardrobe. The EP’s material is inspired by family, nostalgia and grief — and perhaps in a small, unexpected way, a desire to change the rental market for the better. (Shit, you got me there, lady!)

The EP’s second and latest single “Sitting In The Dark” showcases Scott’s thoughtful storytelling rooted in a subtle yet powerful critique of capitalism and the local rental market, calling out the greedy developers, landlords and others, who have helped to put her narrator in a lousy apartment that she can barely afford with shitty furniture and power outages.

I have a shitty and greedy landlord, so this song hit close to home. You’ve most likely have been there, too.
