2004 was quite an amazing yet very taxing year for SCARLING. It included the release of their 7-song EP Sweet Heart Dealer, a nomination for the Short List award, an opening spot on the Curiosa Tour, the loss of two band members and many other Joycean moments. SCARLING.'s current line-up is Jessicka, Christian Hejnal, Rickey Lime and new drummer Beth Gordon. The band's new album So Long, Scarecrow is a collection of songs about mutual malaise, self-exploration, melancholy, heart's resilience and general frustration. It is 50 minutes of art-damaged, fuzz-guitars and cough syrup-induced vocals, and is being co-produced by Rob Campenella (BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE).
SCARLING.'s latest attack to redefine noise and chaos within the context of their beautifully painful melodies is the first single from their latest full length Sympathy Records release So Long, Scarecrow. "City Noise", showcases the SCARLING. desperate, powerful and melancholy sound perfectly and is quickly becoming a trademark to throngs of the lost and lonely. Singer Jessicka's perfected juxtaposition of sugar vocals and abrasive, yet welcomed outbursts have never collided better with the roaring guitars and pure wall-of-sound, creating a force to be reckoned with on this new release, again brought to you by the good people at Sympathy for the Record Industry. The CD single of this release features yet another un-released, non-album track making a must have 3 song CD single for all scarred and non-scarred alike that is sure to leave you with a soundtrack to your next nervous breakdown.
