Scarlet Leaves – Deep Sad Frustration
Scarlet Leaves – Deep Sad Frustration
Sello: Wave Records
Formato: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Cd Digipack
País: Brazil
Fecha: 2015
Estilo: Goth Rock, Ethereal, Darkwave, ShoegazeUnlike “Outlining States of Mind”, that brought more lyric and sentimental lines, in this new album we explore another side of Scarlet Leaves. “Deep Sad Frustration” still keeps the idea of bringing songs and lyrics with abstract and elaborated contents.
On this album, the instrumental brings more orchestrated lines and highlights the violas, cellos and violins.Some percussions are more intense. The guitars are still wandering according to every sound and the synths and other programming are more profound and present than the first album.
The voice is still soft but not so lyrical. We brought a more mature and secure voice for this material, showing a musical development.In some songs we bring real facts of life, such as in “The Misfortune” involving a limited human being, unable to live in their own freedom.
In “Luxuriae”, we try to be poetic in relation to one of the seven deadly sins, Lust.
“Alma” once was called “Believe”, because this song talks about believing, going crazy and imagination.On the other hand, “Dust and Silence” travels in hope and confusion, reflected in tears through pain.
The idea behind “Godforsaken” was bringing a story through the eyes of an angel abandoned by God.
In “Persephone Garden” we fled a bit from the idea of the other songs to tell our version of the story of Persephone and Hades, characters in Greek mythology.
And finally “Misth” is mysterious as always. It’s up to the listeners to interpret what it means to them. -

Brigitte Enzler aka Beta Evers, grew up with the New Wave and experimental electronics scenes in the late 70’s and early 80’s. In her teenage years she founded a girl-band and started her first record label at the age of 16, to independently release and distribute the music of her project. During the early 90’s Brigitte started to arrange gatherings / parties, (electronic music) for local underground clubs in her home city of Augsburg, Germany.
In the year 2000 she founded the electro collective Kommando 6, and in 2001 she decided to run a label again, under the same name, Kommando 6. Finally, in the same year, she started to compose and produce her own tracks independently. Besides her solo-project, Brigitte collaborates in a side-project with Dystronic called, Black Spider Clan, which began life in 2002. Furthermore she is involved in, Flying Bodies and Radikale Analog Fraktion. In 2006 she closed the Kommando 6 label after it had released 20 records. More recently she started 2 new labels called Bodyvolt and Venus Noir.
Married New York based couple, Lissette and Jacob Schoenly founded Spatial Relation several years ago, and have sporadically released classic technoid synthwave / minimal wave, akin to fellow US act, ‘Adult’ who are also a major influence. Their first full length LP has been critically acclaimed, and the three tracks herein continue their twisted electro sounds.
