Scott Lavene

Scott Lavene is a British singer-songwriter and storyteller from Essex, England, known for his wry, observational lyrics that paint vivid pictures of everyday life, working-class struggles, and quirky characters. Blending indie-folk with lo-fi charm and a touch of punk energy, his music feels like eavesdropping on pub banter or peeking into weathered notebooks filled with poetic musings. Tracks like *Disneyland In Dagenham* and *French Julie* showcase his knack for turning mundane settings—bus stops, crummy apartments, rainy towns—into oddly magical tales, often delivered with a cockeyed grin and a nod to British kitchen-sink realism.

With releases like *Milk City Sweethearts* (2018) and *Broken Saturdays* (2021), Lavene’s DIY spirit and ramshackle melodies have earned him comparisons to artists like Jarvis Cocker or an East End Leonard Cohen. His live shows are celebrated for their raw, conversational vibe, mixing dark humor and pathos as he chronicles life’s little absurdities. While he’s yet to storm the charts, Lavene has carved out a cult following who relish his unpolished authenticity and knack for finding beauty in life’s banalities.
