Deer Scout
Deer Scout is the stage name of American indie folk musician Dena Miller.
History[edit]
Miller is from Yonkers, New York and grew up in a family of folk musicians.[1] Miller began recording and releasing music under the name Deer Scout during her first year of college.[1] It was at this time when she released her first EP titled customs, and began touring across the US.[1] Miller would later move to Ohio, where she attended and graduated from Oberlin College.[1] In early 2022, Deer Scout signed with Carpark Records and announced her debut full-length album, Woodpecker.[2] The album was released on April 8.[3][4] The album was recorded with Ko Takasugi-Czernowin, whom she met while attending college, and Zuzia Weyman.[4] The song "Peace with the Damage" from the album features Miller's father, and was originally composed by Miller's mother.[5] Miller cited Jenny Lewis and Hop Along's album Freshman Year as influences for the album.[6]
