Angels

Scarlet House's debut album "Angels," set for release on August 28, 2026, offers a mesmerizing journey through the emotional landscape of love and loss, woven together with hazy guitars and atmospheric production. Drawing on the reflective themes of nostalgia and the complexities of changing relationships, the album's 14 tracks artfully blend elements of dark alternative rock reminiscent of Deftones and The Cure with modern rap influences. This distinctive sonic palette, combined with Scarlet House's heartfelt storytelling, marks "Angels" as a noteworthy entry in the contemporary music scene, further solidifying his growing influence and connection with a devoted audience.
