█▒██ ██▒█
█░█▒ In the beginning, ScarletÆs Well was Bid (of ▒█░█
█░█▒ Monochrome Set fame) accompanied by a fluctuating ▒█░█
█░█▒ cast of girlish singers, esoteric musicians and ▒█░█
█░█▒ random collaborators. It was a beautiful but ▒█░█
█░█▒ primarily solo vision. Lavishly illustrated albums ▒█░█
█░█▒ emerged quietly, all set in the vicinity of a place ▒█░█
█░█▒ called Mousseron, ôa sickly village situated ▒█░█
█░█▒ somewhere east of the Azores and only slightly ▒█░█
█░█▒ north of the Styxö populated by howling wolves, ▒█░█
█░█▒ seductive mermaids and a bawdy captain with his ▒█░█
█░█▒ crew of beer-swilling pirates and off-kilter ▒█░█
█░█▒ animals with disturbingly human characteristics. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Seven albums have now been released and with the ▒█░█
█░█▒ most recent two: Black Tulip Wings (2006) and ▒█░█
█░█▒ Gatekeeper (2008) ScarletÆs Well has evolved into a ▒█░█
█░█▒ band in its own right, with live gigs, ▒█░█
█░█▒ collaborative song writing, luscious merchandise, ▒█░█
█░█▒ tantrums and uncorroborated suggestions of bizarre ▒█░█
█░█▒ fantasies. A sense of band empathy and the benefits ▒█░█
█░█▒ of varied influences are evident in both these ▒█░█
█░█▒ albums but there is still a thematic consistency. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Although there is a conceptual thread that runs ▒█░█
█░█▒ through the albums, the songs still function as pop ▒█░█
█░█▒ in the sweetest sense, i.e. they are catchy, you ▒█░█
█░█▒ can sing along (if you must) and most are dance ▒█░█
█░█▒ friendly. What makes them special is their ▒█░█
█░█▒ unpredictability and the dizzying range of musical ▒█░█
█░█▒ genres combined with an essence that is simply ▒█░█
█░█▒ æScarletÆs WellÆ. ItÆs Whirling Dervish meets gypsy ▒█░█
█░█▒ troubadour with the crack of a whip on the rump of ▒█░█
█░█▒ a unicorn à then it gets fey and funky. Lyrics leap ▒█░█
█░█▒ from cryptic literary allusions to pert whimsy and ▒█░█
█░█▒ although there is a certain obscure quality there ▒█░█
█░█▒ is also an air of familiarity: a morphic memory ▒█░█
█░█▒ thing bringing on a parallel universe that reveals ▒█░█
█░█▒ itself to those who are open to getting lost with ▒█░█
█░█▒ new acquaintances down strange cobbled streets, ▒█░█
█░█▒ wooded glades, uncharted waters or the dark tunnels ▒█░█
█░█▒ of the underworld. Bid describes it better in ▒█░█
█░█▒ æNovember NightÆ from Gatekeeper, "Strange songs ▒█░█
█░█▒ playing, so darkly chanted With words I feel but ▒█░█
█░█▒ donÆt understand." While Peter Momtchiloff ▒█░█
█░█▒ emphasizes the benefits of collaboration with New ▒█░█
█░█▒ Friends, "We are your new friends, if the night ▒█░█
█░█▒ ever ends It will feel as if weÆve always been ▒█░█
█░█▒ here." ScarletÆs Well is a big band û eight members ▒█░█
█░█▒ in all û but the sound, although rich and ▒█░█
█░█▒ multi-layered is surprisingly light and charming. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Each new album leaves you with the desire for just ▒█░█
█░█▒ a little bit more. ItÆs a light lunch thing û ▒█░█
█░█▒ although there have been songs about ôsausages ▒█░█
█░█▒ standing to attentionö, ôBelladonna cooking in her ▒█░█
█░█▒ frilly bloomersö and ôliver like it used to beö, ▒█░█
█░█▒ you are never left bloated. The Monochrome Set were ▒█░█
█░█▒ a more manly outfit û all black and white with ▒█░█
█░█▒ staccato beats and a cowboy swagger. With ScarletÆs ▒█░█
█░█▒ Well, Bid has gone technicolour and connected with ▒█░█
█░█▒ his feminine side aptly complemented by the ▒█░█
█░█▒ virgin/vixen vocals of Alice Healey. The rest of ▒█░█
█░█▒ the impressive line-up consists of Deb Van Der ▒█░█
█░█▒ Geugten: bass, Sian Chaffer: keyboards, Jennifer ▒█░█
█░█▒ Dennito: drums, Helena Johansson: violin & ▒█░█
█░█▒ mandolin, Peter Momtchiloff: lead guitar and Martin ▒█░█
█░█▒ White: accordion. ScarletÆs Well is a band of ▒█░█
█░█▒ eccentrics for eccentrics, dandies, grannies, choir ▒█░█
█░█▒ boys, mariners, twee poppers and indefatigable ▒█░█
█░█▒ travelers. The music should ideally be experienced ▒█░█
█░█▒ under a flickering light with a glass of fine mead ▒█░█
█░█▒ in the company of fey maidens and prattling ▒█░█
█░█▒ moles...alternatively go and see them live à you ▒█░█
█░█▒ will come out with naughty little fairies nibbling ▒█░█
█░█▒ at the musical bits of your brain! ▒█░█
