Modern Radio

Human Recordings

Scarlet Soho are a New Romantic duo that already reached critical acclaim with the debut album and with this single they promise to reach an even bigger audience. The vibe of ‘Modern Radio’ is halfway between pop and electronic, but it has the same distinctive touch of sadness that the songs of New Romantic movement had in the eighties. The atmosphere is perfectly recreated, but something contemporary has been added, in particular the guitars in second track ‘Fibre Optic’. There’s more than rock here,

more that pure synths and an overall dark feel, a slight Nine Inch Nails influence and the touch of Jim Knights’ incredibly acute voice and bassist Scarlet’s backing vocals. A real drama permeates this band, and it’s the reason they are rapidly generating a cult following.
