In June 2008 Scarlet Box unleashed an album well worth the wait.
Scarlet Box made a lasting impression with their self titled debut album in 2004. They embraced the spotlight with smash hits “Everybody’s God”, “Love Hate“ and “Just Be“. The band swiftly grew into an impressive live act with a dedicated fanbase. After four years of focused energy Scarlet Box is back with the powerful sophomore release; “And the Rest of Us Die Out”.
The rise to fame has presented many challenges and obstacles for Scarlet Box. The band’s singer and songwriter, Jenna Phillips, chose to transform these challenges into fuel for the creative fire.
“I’ve written this album to tie up the knots of my life until now” recalls Phillips. “We’ve been through a lot in the past few years, and instead of hampering on about it, I decided to write songs.”
The result is a revealing collection of work that will intrigue and captivate a broad range of listeners. Phillips hopes her songs will provide the same release for listeners as they have for her as a writer and performer. Thrusting these songs into the public domain is the best way to untie the knots that inspired them.
“Let it be the last time I focus on it!” She defiantly proclaims. “It’s all about shedding. Shedding old, unwanted skin. Hence the album title, “And the Rest of Us Die Out”, referring to all our old bygones.“
The first single, “I Knew”, launched onto the airwaves instantly. The song was voted onto the Tuks FM Listener’s Top 10, entering at No.2. In Johannesburg “I Knew” has already started climbing the UJFM charts.
Scarlet Box launched the album in mid-June to a full house at Boston Tea Party in Pretoria. A few days later the band captivated the crowd in the support slot for Seether’s PE concert.
Scarlet Box may have been quiet for a few months, but they were simply preparing for an onslaught like no other.
