The Scarlet Goodbye Release New Single "Angel Dust"
The Scarlet Goodbye released their new single "Angel Dust" via Epochal Artist Records/TLG/INgrooves. The track is featured on their new album Say Hello to The Scarlet Goodbye due out later this year. The band is comprised of Dan Murphy (Soul Asylum/Golden Smog) and singer/producer Jeff Arundel.
Murphy says of the new single,
"A riff I had circulating in my brain for decades finally finds a home... the chorus vocal lines and lyrics were written with my recently completed sailing class behind me. I love Ben's drumming on this track it sounds like Sweet or the seventies band The Raspberries.”
How The Scarlet Goodbye came together is out of the ordinary. Dan Murphy, who was vital in the creation of both rock bands Soul Asylum and Golden Smog, sold his guitars and amps and left music in 2012, in a letter published by Rolling Stone. A chance encounter at a Christmas Party with Yacht-Rocker and producer Jeff Arundel, led the duo to start writing and recording. They soon realized that they were onto something, making for a collection of songs that producer John Fields, who was brought in to mix the record, calls “both timeless and unique, part Rolling Stones and part Townes Van Zandt”.
