The Scarlet Goodbye is the four-year old creative lovechild of long-time Minnesota musicians Daniel Murphy and Jeff Arundel.

A chance meeting between Dan Murphy, pivotal in the formation and writing of both Soul Asylum and Golden Smog, and mellow singer-songwriter-producer Jeff Arundel, led to an attic studio in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the lads hunkered down and created the LP “Hopes Eternal”, a unique and original blend of both artists—part Rolling Stones, part Townes Van Zandt. Hopes Eternal went on to be one the best-reviewed records of 2023, released on The Label Group/Universal, and supported by some great live shows across the Midwest.

Ready to escalate the collaboration, TSG has been back in the attic and is readying “El Camino Adios”, at once both organic and epic, for release on Virgin Records in 20.

The first single, “Speedway”, is an homage to dirt track Saturday nights, the roar of the engines colliding with themes of love and loneliness, denim, and Lone Star beer.

The songs on El Camino Adios revolve around a mythical town, and the reeling emotions that resonate whether you’re in the Baja or the heart of New York City, entrusted of knowing – that in this lifetime change will be life’s only constant, especially if you’ve been around awhile.

TSG will be back on the road starting in June—stay tuned! This is one of the most unusual bands both lyrically and musically today…
