Great Swan Song for an Amazing Band!

(4 out of 5 stars)
"In a span of five years, five albums, and three personnel changes, the magic that was My Scarlet Life comes to a close here. The songs are dreamy and yet tight, with a kind of behind the scenes angst hinting at the breakup to come. It begins with the songs Don't Make Me and Promise, rises in The Garden of Love and Pure Denial, and ends with haunting sadness of So Frail. If there is one thing to be said of any project fronted by lead composer Preston Klik, it is that however short lived they are, they are never short of excellent. Out of the ashes of his last great band Big Hat, My Scarlet Life arose, and its demise only fortells of greater heights to be reached in the future. Listeners will anxiously await them."
