We're ten days away from the epic Glas-Goes Pop festival which features The Softies headlining opening night: a poptacular weekend with mass groovin' guitar bashers and loud musical swirl-a-whirls. Even more exciting, though, is news The Softies first album It's Love [KLP043] is back in print on the long-playing (LP) phonograph record format, just the way you like it. What a pleasnt bookend to the summer, coming up after their Winter Pageant [KLP061] was made fast on LP just last month. The modern world is not so bad (not like the students say).
One may PRE-ORDER It's Love [KLP043] from The K Mail Order Dept. for delivery a full four weeks prior to it's September 6 release date. Yay. Best get on that.
By the btw, The Softies have a brand spanking new album, The Bed I Made (Father Daughter Records), due August 23, also available for PRE-ORDER from The K Mail Order Dept.
What a summer pop overload!
It's Love is the first of three albums by The Softies. Heartache, longing and ultimate finesse...ultra pop that can not be denied. Rose Melberg (Tiger Trap, Gaze and Go Sailor), teamed up with Jen Sbragia (All Girl Summer Fun Band) for this combination of two guitars and two voices and it is total, creating songs that dig deep into your heart and soul and you don't let them leave.
On their second album, Winter Pageant [KLP061], The Softies move forward with focused delight. Winter Pageant is the drama of utter melancholia documenting the broken promises, missed phone calls, conversations stalled, love lost. Colossal tasks recorded two guitars deep, forming a new Iliad, chapters on brave deeds and the power of love on the move.
The Softies Holiday in Rhode Island
Listening to The Softies feels like peeking into a diary, with no personal detail spared. Holiday in Rhode Island, their third album, presents the most accessible means inside the humble honesty of their emotive universe. The band lyrically documents a lovelorn heart in every manifestation where hope is a bright silver lining adorning each of these new songs.
