The Scarlet Letter Union

"Mummy? I heard a noise..."

About Me

.. Paranoia, despondency,
Stuttering soliloquy.
Melody, dissonance,
lopsided rhythm, discontentment,
chance encounters, resonance.
Cut and sequenced frequencies,
glimmerings of clarity.
Swathes of echo, bitten tongues.
Gaps in dialogue, isolation,
imagined endings, blackened lungs.
Trying to teach myself to fly.

In existence since january 2003.

The Scarlet Letter Union is a one-piece band based in Winchester.

Sounds Like: "...it really is only one person making all that noise....he mumbles an outsider’s mini-observations on other people’s business during the quiet part of the deal in ‘quiet/loud’. He steps back and unleashes a cutting guitar racket as the drum machine placed beside him pounds out bottom-heavy beats like some sporadic, cynical heartbeat." Drowned in Sound.com
