She Waits feels like what would happen if time warped into the ‘70s right after you stepped in a nightclub. The kind that taps into the attitude, dashing flair of David Bowie, Mark Lanegan’s brooding, smoky depth, along with PJ Harvey’s raw and primal energy. The result? A track that does not feel manufactured for the trendy algorithm but will live on into this new sonic space.
With an outstanding fusion of ‘70s glam rock track and modern elements of synth-pop and indie rock, the Netherland-based Scarlet Mill teases their new album in spring 2026 with She Waits.
The first hit from the fuzzy guitar immediately tells you they aren’t playing, they’re evidently above the loud, artificial mainstream. And the vocals? Straight out soulful and emotive. It doesn’t just feel familiar, it makes you want to wear that sequined jacket along with that overly flared pants from your grandmother’s cabinet.
And as they deliver intricate instrumental layers, the lyrics meet its ambiance and richness. They don’t just tell a story, they paint an image in your head, all clear and vivid. It’s almost like seeing the vision of a broken man in his eyes—standing in the middle of the nightclub with a familiar song, the light is hazy and dimmed, with a memory that feels lived in yet gone.
Despite channeling that vintage flair, Scarlet Mill’s She Waits sounds exactly theirs. The balance between classic and contemporary styles reigns supreme, making a distinct sound that thrives in timeless space. With their evolving journey, there’s so much more to anticipate with their musical prowess and cinematic storytelling.
