About The Scarlet Goodbye
The Scarlet Goodbye is the creative collaboration between two established Minnesota musicians, Daniel Murphy and Jeff Arundel. Their partnership began by chance, with Murphy—known for his foundational roles in Soul Asylum and Golden Smog—crossing paths with the accomplished singer-songwriter-producer Arundel. This meeting sparked a new musical journey in an attic studio in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the duo began matching musical wits and blending these distinct perspectives.
Hopes Eternal
The result of their early work was the album Hopes Eternal, which showcased a fusion of their influences: part Rolling Stones, part Townes Van Zandt. Released by The Label Group/Universal, the LP quickly earned recognition as one of the best-reviewed records of 2023. The album’s release was supported by a series of standout shows throughout the Midwest, further establishing The Scarlet Goodbye’s reputation for creative songwriting and dynamic live performances.
El Camino Adios
Following the success of their debut, The Scarlet Goodbye returned to their attic studio to craft their second album, El Camino Adios. Released on March 14, 2025, via The Label Group/Virgin, this album delivers a sound that is both hand-hewn and widescreen. Through the songs, the record explores the lifescapes and stories of a mythical town, evoking memories that resonate whether listeners imagine themselves drifting through the Baja or immersed in the energy of New York City.
The standout singles—“Raylene,” “Speedway,” and the title track “El Camino Adios”—tell vivid stories: a narrator reflecting on a lost love, recalling nights spent at the dirt track, and contemplating the delicate balance between holding on and letting go. The music captures the poignant beauty found in these in-between moments. Critics praised El Camino Adios for its continued development of the band’s dynamic range, featuring everything from energetic rock tracks to reflective ballads.
What’s Next?
With their creative momentum rolling, The Scarlet Goodbye is set to release new music and embark on a European tour. Their upcoming single, “She’s a Fire,” drops on March 6, 2026, and captures the lively essence of 1960s rock, highlighted by classic TSG vocals and electric guitar riffs. Later in March, the band will team up with Scottish rock group Overhaul for a tour across Scotland, the UK, and Ireland.
The momentum continues throughout 2026, as The Scarlet Goodbye plans more live shows, new singles, and finally a new LP. Fans can look forward to another banner year filled with fresh music and memorable performances from the band.
