He played on albums ''Just for a Day'' and ''Souvlaki'', which was voted in ''The Guardian'' as "One of the top 50 albums to hear before you die" in 2007. Scott left the band after ''5 EP'' was released in early 1994, prior to the band working on their third album ''Pygmalion'', but rejoined in 2014 when they announced their reformation. Scott formed and fronted Inner Sleeve in 1997 who released two singles in 1998 and an album ''Looking Up'' in 1999, all on the Fierce Panda label.〔Strong, Martin C.

Scott then reformed Inner Sleeve as Televise with new musicians and signed to London record label Club AC30.〔Gourlay, Dom (2009) "Shoegaze Week: DiS talks to Simon Scott about his time in Slowdive", Drowned in Sound, 23 April 2009, retrieved 15 April 2011〕 He has also played in the bands The Sight Below, Seavault (on Morr Music), Chapterhouse and Conformists (with Jasper TX).〔 In 2006, Scott started an electronic experimental record label KESHHHHHH Recordings, working as a musician and sound artist from his Cambridge recording studio and was remixed on an album called ''88 Tapes'' by Lawrence English, Sawako, Moskitoo, Greg Davis, Benoit Pioulard, Christopher Bissonnette, Mark Templeton, and many more.〔 2009 saw the release of Scott's self-assured solo debut album,〔()〕 ''Navigare'', for Miasmah Records which is an electronic/neo classical record label, run by Erik Knive Skodvin from Deaf Center.
