Forgotten Songs Vol. Three

Released in 2015 as part of his ongoing series of archival and experimental sketches, Forgotten Songs Vol. Three represents Scrimshire (Adam Scrimshire) at his most atmospheric and textural. While his full-length albums often lean into more structured soul and jazz-funk with prominent vocalists, this EP highlights his prowess as a producer of 'mood.' The five tracks function as a cohesive suite of downtempo explorations, utilizing heavy tape saturation and analog synthesis to create a signature 'dusty' sound. Positioned between his more polished works like 'Banners' and the later 'Believers,' this volume serves as a bridge into his more experimental, nu jazz tendencies. Critical reception within the London jazz and electronic scenes praised the EP for its ability to evoke deep nostalgia through sophisticated sampling and rhythmic subtlety. It remains a cult favorite for fans of the Wah Wah 45s aesthetic, prized for its 'bedroom-soul' intimacy and its refusal to rush the listener.
