POP
It is probably fair to say that not many people were anticipating a Scarlet Fantastic album in 2016; their previous (and only other) record, 24 Hours, was released back in 1987 when Maggie K De Monde and Rick P. Jones had formed the band from the embers of the peerless Swans way, who split after one extraordinary album, 1984’s The Fugitive Kind.
Where the ’80s Scarlet Fantastic traded in super-sparkly sophisticated pop music, (see 1987 smash ‘No Memory’), the new incarnation (which is effectively a solo effort from De Monde with guests) has a more organic, almost folky feel. However, the themes are not as far removed; De Monde still exudes positive energy and this always comes across in her work. Stylistically, Reverie has more in common with her 2012 album Union, which was recorded with (Marc Almond‘s keyboard player) Martin Watkins and released under the name Maggie and Martin.
