Norwegian duo Soft as Snow makes experimental pop for the interplanetary set, echoing the sounds of minimal wave and early Warp releases. Their approach to music making is hands-on; avoiding laptops in favour of analogue synths, drum machines and samplers, mixed with idiosyncratic vocals and heavily processed guitars. They’ll be releasing their debut EP, 'Glass Body', for Houndstooth on July 21st, 2014.
 
Soft as Snow is Oda Egjar Starheim and Øystein Monsen’s first electronic venture, yet their collaboration was initiated years ago through art related performances and projects  – including creating their own utopic art and music festival in the Swedish forest, and performing at events in cities such as London (where they are now based) and Oslo.

The duo has invited Julie Born Schwartz to design the cover art for their EP, which also features a remix by Asher Levitas of Old Apparatus, Saa and Penny. Meanwhile, their first upcoming video for the track “Halo Heart,” created by Michael Crowe from Overshare Records, Penny and Mysterious Letters, is currently on display in DZIALDOV Gallery in Berlin. 

Glass Body can be ordered on 12" (cut to heavyweight 180g vinyl by Matt Colton) from the Houndstooth store: http://smarturl.it/GlassBody - or downloaded from iTunes: http://smarturl.it/GlassBodyiT

LYRICS:

i got wings and baby i am made for flying
i seen apparitions as i keep on getting higher
you gotta keep me close, you gotta let me go
i said, i got wings and baby i am made for flying
i seen apparitions as i keep on getting higher

the farther up the farther up that i can go now, 
the nearer into to you i promise i will fall down 
you gotta keep me close, you gotta let me go
the farther up the farther up that i can go now, 
the nearer into to you i promise i will fall down

I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU LONELY

i got the city and the desert all in my mind
but i'm up here to look for somewhere else that i can memorize
you gotta keep me close, you gotta let me go

desert, city i got u memorized
but i'm really needing somewhere else to put inside my mind
when i am very far, i know right where you are

and i'll always be looking for you you
when i'm higher up from a from a different view ya
i will always be looking for you when i'm higher up from a different view

i will always and i will always be looking for you
sometimes we need to see each other from a different view

I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU LONELY
