Divisions Of Decency |
In October 02 Scarlet Soho released their
low-key debut single Disconnected and toured the UK extensively. After
enjoying success playing alongside the Faint, Lolita Storm and Delays
and with a devoted fanbase behind them the future looked positive for
all concerned. However, whilst they began planning demo sessions for
this, the debut album, they were hit with the loss of their guitarist
Lee Kinrade. |
Despite such a glaring setback, Jim and
Scarlet re-grouped to begin work with Delays producer Justin Callaway in
Southampton.
The outcome, Divisions Of Decency must be one of the debut albums of the
decade. The album sways between the up beat, theatrical, electro rock of
Magazine and the starker pop sensibilities of their contemporaries
Interpol and The Sneaker Pimps.
This is a heady mix of clinical synth lines and sprawling nauseating
guitars and features the underground hit singles Disconnected (2002) and
Isolation (2004).
Lyrically, the band have maintained a cryptic edge, allowing the listener
to interpret individual meanings and definitions for each track.
Unlike their peers, Scarlet Soho are successfully combining lyrical
originality, a sterile style and a futuristic take on electronic music.
Breathing life, and adding a much needed sheen to a lacklustre scene. |
