Scarlet Rae

Scarlet Rae is a Los Angeles-born, Brooklyn-based indie rock artist known for her ethereal vocals layered over jagged, shoegaze-influenced soundscapes. Raised in a musical family, she began playing guitar as a child and fronted the indie folk trio Rose Dorn during high school, establishing herself in the L.A. DIY scene with their 2019 debut album *Days You Were Leaving* (Bar None Records). After relocating to New York City in 2020, Scarlet Rae began focusing on her solo career, producing music that explores themes of loss, solitude, and emotional reckoning with a distinct experimental approach involving layered effects and intimate home recordings.

Her recent work, including the 2025 EP *No Heavy Goodbyes*, reflects deeply personal experiences, such as grappling with grief and mental health. Songs like “Bleu” serve as poignant homages to her late sister, capturing complex emotions with textured sound and honest lyricism. Scarlet Rae’s style blends whispery vocals with shoegaze gloom and indie pop beats, offering a nostalgic yet fresh take on late 90s/early 2000s indie rock that resonates with fans looking for both comfort and raw emotional depth.
