Scott Goldbaum’s Story
LA-based multi-instrumentalist Scott Goldbaum, whose credits include Sting, LAUV, David Kushner, Keith Urban, Skylar Grey, Charlotte Lawrence, and Maddie Poppe, Scott's collision with mortality, after being diagnosed with a heart condition at 35, led to self-dispossession, deeply personal songwriting, and two surgeries. The seven-song EP is slated to be released over the course of Winter and Spring in 2025, beginning with "Emergence" which creates a space that pulses with the fragility and hope of recovery. A minimalist 90-second exploration, the song weaves haunting questions like "Are your forebears weeping, head-hunting? No signs of aging, wild caught," which echo the disorienting sensations of waking from general anesthesia after heart surgery. It’s a mood piece, capturing the disembodied, surreal experience of emerging from the shadow of a medical procedure, and it’s an intimate reflection on both the body’s vulnerability and its resilience.
