Scarlet House

About the Artist

Scarlet House is a one-man powerhouse whose live performances deftly blur the line between shoegaze’s dreamy introspection and the raw intensity of hardcore punk, crafting an immersive sonic landscape that’s equal parts introspective haze and visceral punch—think wall-of-sound meets controlled chaos. His sets are known for dense, swirling guitar textures layered meticulously onstage with pedal loops and frantic percussion, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously overwhelming yet strangely soothing. Fans often reference his signature track “Slowing Down,” which encapsulates the tension between frenetic momentum and deliberate restraint, echoing stories from Scarlet House’s early days spent obsessively recording demos alone in his dimly-lit basement studio (an origin he humorously describes as “less romantic indie-film montage, more insomnia-fueled existential crisis”). His self-aware interludes—occasional quips about his own pedalboard’s rebellious tendencies—provide clever, unpredictable breaks, enhancing the authenticity of an artist whose musical intensity clearly stems from genuine passion and a touch of delightful madness.
