Scarlet's Well are a British band noted for their exceptionally wordy and multi-layered lyrics,^{[citation needed]} heavy with literary and other allusions. They were founded by Bid, the Indian-originated singer and songwriter of The Monochrome Set, after the latter band amicably split (for the second time), and released their first album in 1999. Throughout their career their releases have appeared on the Spanish label Siesta Records.
