New single from Scarlet Mill

Hailing from Amsterdam, Scarlet Mill is a musical duo formed by Jennifer Moesker on vocals, piano, organ and synths, and Erik Verhoef on vocals, guitar, bass and drums. First starting their sonic partnership back in the 80s, they then drifted apart, putting their project on hold for a hiatus that lasted decades.

Now, after thirty-five years, they’ve made their return and rekindled their artistic chemistry to resume their unfinished work as Scarlet Mill. First marking their celebrated re-emergence in 2020 with the release of their debut full-length record Chronicles, an album that recounts the story of an impossible love, passionate yet fueled by animosity, across seven tracks.

Since then they’ve been sharing new material that will form their upcoming sophomore LP and, following the release of the songs “You’re Mine” and “Port Henry” last year, they now bring us their latest release with the third single lifted from the album with “Sinking Man”.

On their new single, the pair craft a smokey atmosphere and melancholic tone with a hypnotising soft rock ballad. As floating vibrato guitar lines hover, delicate piano keys dance among deep hammond organ sounds and somber sax leads as the duo’s dual vocal work delivers graceful, melodic leads carrying picture painting lyricism.

With another showcase of their elegant songwriting and musicianship talent, “Sinking Man” sees Scarlet Mill continue to release captivating music and build excitement for their forthcoming record.
