Scarlet Rascal - Scarlet Rascal [CD]

2016 release. Preceded by the acclaimed lead single "Venus", Scarlet Rascal release their much anticipated debut LP; an ambitious, rough and ready achievement which marries driving guitars with dark, hazy sonic textures and a strikingly deep vocal sound. Scarlet Rascal unite a distinct concoction of alternative ideas that tap into Joy Division, The Birthday Party and Love-era The Cult whilst also neatly neighboring the likes of The Velvet Underground and Jesus and Mary Chain. Mixed by Geoff Barrow of Portishead and Craig Silvey (New Order/Baxter Dury/The Horrors), Scarlet Rascal's debut LP is a ringing, tense and unique proposition.
