Thom Lion Bowls Me Over With “Scattered Words”

Adelaide singer-songwriter Thom Lion has knocked it out of the park with his latest single “Scattered Words.” I can’t even tell you how good this indie-pop track is. It’s got a joyous energy about, superb lyrics, it’s such an enjoyable listen. I’m hearing nods to The Preatures, The Cure, and Vance Joy in here. It just makes you want to move your feet and learn the lyrics so you can sing along. Just listen and you’ll soon figure out why I’ve had this song on repeat.

“’Scattered Words’ is a celebration of that love induced anxiety you get when you fall for someone at the local front bar – yet can’t construct a proper sentence when they speak to you,” Thom explained. “For whatever reason, when feelings are involved – I always seem to overcompensate with more scattered words.”

Thom recently launched the single at The Wheatsheaf Hotel and he promises he’s got more gigs in the pipeline. Give him a follow on Facebook to learn more about them as they’re announced.

Thom Lion Impresses with “Folk Divorce”

I was a bit slow to get around to checking out the video for Thom Lion’s new song “Folk Divorce”, but I figure sometimes it’s a case of better late than never. Happily this is one of those times.

This ticks all the boxes for me. The music is stellar. I find Thom’s voice so compelling, a little rough around the edges and oozing honest emotion. The music’s organic and perfect in its simplicity. And then we’ve got this clip which is colourful, quirky, and so much fun.

Adelaide’s Thom Lion’s definitely one to watch.
