Empty Pools | Vanderbilt Cup (The Soft's 'Long Island' Mix ) If ever you needed something to arrive at the very brink of a weekend, something to take you out from any work routine and into a hazy 48 hours of escape. These ten minutes will fly by; by the end you'll be in another place entirely. Far flung from the hyped-up, enthralling original of Bristol band and MFM favourites, Empty Pools have been transformed through the work of experimentalists The Soft, a band who consistently impress - I've seen them [...]

The Soft are a trio from Bury-St-Edmunds who set the blogosphere alight with last years free-to-download EP, Hot Summer . A stunning and seamless mix, weird and wonderful electronic glitches sat side-by-side with warm, almost celebratory vocals to create an EP that featured six tracks which melted and weaved themselves together in intoxicating ways. Released back in November, the EP is once again coming in to it's own as it finally gets the chance to soundtrack the first hot, sunny days we've all experienced in months. Such is the records strength, we wouldn't bet against it having [...]

Montage Populaire – 'Reject Reinstall' Experimental glam pop from UK. These fellas are new on the block, yet act like they own it - convincingly. This song is boisterous, melodic, and inventive with a jovial, harmonious chorus, noisy breaks that channel the art rock of Roxy Music , and playful synth sounds that are reminiscent of Olivia Tremor Control or of Montreal . 'Reject Reinstall' is the lead track from their debut EP Not All Bombs Explode. Can't wait for this one... [...]
D A Y B R E A K by Mecca:83 On his latest set of tracks, D A Y B R E A K , Mecca:83 masters the gentle instrumental, creating a series of grooves that are light on the ears. Seems the UK producer has a lot of versatility under his belt, too. Tracks like "Send U" and "2am Samba" feel almost like night and day in terms of energy and samples. What's even more surprising is all these tracks were put together within 24 hours. Well, there ya go. Download [...]

![[New] Michael Kiwanuka- Home Again](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4014181_lg.jpg)
British singer/songriter Michael Kiwanuka is a fresh cup of coffee for a world of drowsy, early morning, soul music. Michael comes equipped with melodic guitars, light percussion, and a voice that's somewhere between Otis Redding , Miles Davis , Bill Withers , and Robert Pattinson. The title track of his new CD, "Home Again", is an introspective take on the comfort and safety of home, and how you long for it when you're away. Home again , Michael's new album, will be out on March 26th 2012 on Mumford & Sons [...]
Usually when an artist describes themselves as " ambient shoegaze " it would act more like a repellent for this blog, causing us to quickly immerse ourselves in something ass-kickingly rocking, like Led Zeppelin's Good Times Bad Times , or Slayer's Raining Blood , or we'd rush off to swag around with a turned-up-to-eleven blast of Ante Up , or any other musical equivalent to receiving a bucket of water facially. It's not that we're particularly against that style or genre of music, but most [...]
Flights - Pillar Maybe it's the rain today that makes this song/album hit so heavy. The rain always does that. But boy am I glad Mark stumbled on this, and decided to share. The album plays as a soundtrack for the contemplative wandering soul. The album title, Anywhere But Where I Am reminds me of a quote by French poet and philosopher Charles Baudelaire: "It always seems to me that I should feel well in the place where I am [...]
Maybe you have to speak the language to really dig these totally whacky Nederbiet songs... all I know is that I find them totally irresistable. The Softs wear purple pants and grow their hair long, something daddy doesn't like at all, while N.V. Group 65 travels all the way to Morocco to buy that devil weed. Meanwhile, the Dukes go wild in a bar in Turkey, and The Mokum Beat Five (from my native city Amsterdam, a.k.a. Mokum) issues a stern warning against marriage. Wonder what my non-Dutch readers think. Softs - Paarse Broek [...]

The Soft - Tropisms What a fine web of vocals with synthetic support - as strong as a spider's. Gorgeous tune from this Suffolk, UK trio. As they like to call themselves, " a cross between the synthier side of 80s goth and all the scariest and darkest electronic music from the last 20 years ." Tumblrin' here . verbreverb : Without metronome - a stillness in unbroken headroom. UK based The Soft recently let way their EP Hot Summer , [...]

We simply couldn't let this one pass unheard: The Soft 's brand new (and free ) EP Hot Summer found it's way to our inbox the other day and has quite literally been on repeat ever since. Defining The Soft's sound is not just a simple task, moving from electronically leaning coral pop to a way more mysterious build-up in the veins Stay+/Christian Aids (just like "Venus Breath" below): distant, reverbed vocals and partly programmed, partly physically recorded beats — varying from what sounds like a stick being beaten against the wall of a cellar, or fingers snapping [...]
The Soft : Venus Breath Seeing Factory Floor producing such a grand, full body of work in the form of ' Two Different Ways ', wasn't the biggest of surprises. It seemed like the sensible conclusion to a huge build up of buzz for their ear-splitting live shows and reputation for doing something daring and different. The Soft aren't exactly the sonic equivalent of the former, but they're equally capable of producing something of mindblowing ambition, on evidence of ' Venus Breath [...]
The Soft - Half Breath Whether I'd put these guys on for a gig or not in the past, this is the kind of EP that would get featured on If There Is Hell Below every time. The teenage electronic trio from Bury St. Edmunds were still counting their gigography on one hand when they came to play at my club night Lead Soup (remember that?). They filled that shitty little venue - with the bad door staff and grammatically puzzling water closet ('toilet's'?), amongst other things - they filled it with some [...]
Restless, I went outside and happened upon the death of the day. The sky was a shiny, sheer dark blue, the colour of freezing waterfalls, of bruises at their most tender, of the sea when it thinks no-one is looking. Over to the west it was slightly lighter, as it the last of the day had gathered in a corner like the last few guests at an crazy house party. But in the east darkness had triumphed, and was steadily advancing. Two joggers hurried by, chattering breathlessly. A slight wind ruffled the pavement's brown leaves, picking up a handful only to drop them seconds later, disinterested. It was still faintly warm. I [...]
Género: Pop, electronic, synth. John Kunkel (vocals), Michael Janz [aka Janzie] (synthesizer, 2006-present), Brock Woolsey (guitar, 2007-present), Mark Michaslki (synthesizer, 2008-present) son de Riverside, CA, United States, y aunque formados el 2005, han debutado de largo con Shadows el pasado 27 de septiembre, tras The Rookie EP de este mismo año (que fue la repanocha), y un puñado de singles. Pero vaya debut. Señoras y señores que gusten de las bandas que seguramente se os ocurrirán leyendo el nombre de este cuarteto, disfrutarán mucho de su [...]
