Portland, OR post punk/dark wave band Soft Kill have announced the release of their new studio album ‘Escape Forever‘.
Marking the announcement the band have released the brand new single “Come Hang From The Roof Tops“. The follow-up to last year’s record Metta World Peace, will be out on April 12. Pre-order your copy here.
“Escape Forever” is a signal from the past, a loose thread that pulls us from our nostalgia filled bedrooms into our present moment. Both a loving homage to teenage memories and an intense response to our current milieu. Is thirteen raw tunes, musings and samples with Chicago artist RBTayskii as the spiritual tour guide.
The record is delightfully centered around just the painful and joyful moment of creation, where guitars and melodies are supreme. Soft Kill attempts to grapple with the chaos of the world coming back to harmony, to reconcile with the past, to embrace it. A reverie on how to remain humble and intentional in an ever more complicated world. As Emerson once said we are artists because we are unsuccessful people living in an unsuccessfully realized world. “Escape Forever” tries to find transcendence in the knuckle bruising nightmare we came from instead of the realm of the phenomenal, praised and often overreaching. It harkens back to another era, but “Escape Forever” is decidedly the sound of us now.
