David Teboul, founder of Soft Recordings, has curated a collection of sonic gems from such luminaries as Darren Harper, Sima Kim, Bengalfuel, and others. These dozen tracks reveal a broad spectrum of drone, ambient, experimental, and noise music, with a sprinkling of modern classical.

Each song in the compilation flows into the next. Throbbing melodies, low vibrations, and distorted strings blur, thickening into gritty choirs. The crunch and muted crackle of densely layered tape. Growling, scratchy textures. Despite their differences in styles and backgrounds, the artists' individual works share mood and vision: songs full of longing and half-remembered dreams. Kevin Verwijmeren's opening lush chords, swelling and fading. Leonardo Rosado uses bursts of static to form broken percussive sequences, balanced by the focused formlessness of Saito Koji's fuzzed hum toward the end of the record. Radere's liquid field recordings segue into Kissy Suzuki's warm atmospheric pads. Linear Bells and Endless Melancholy each blend dissonant, atonal structures with sparse, lovely piano melodies. Lost Trail's insistent guitar arpeggios run in counterpoint to the glitched feedback loops of Monolith & Cobalt.

"An Introduction to Soft" is an evening spent in a mountainside cabin, listening to the storm shake the trees in the darkness. Inside, all is still, hushed, waiting. The fervent glow of firelight, bright against frosted windows.

ST002 – LINEAR BELLS "the stars will shine" double CD album + digital.

fuck that bright shit
the spot or the flashlights 
we in la ducking both 
in the shadows with lead pipes 
the days are all night

see if i pay edison
no medicine
these blues ain’t more better when
my fever rise in the jungle 
as quick as the price spikes
the days are all night

my future snapped like a rubber band
off my fold on a hand to hand
he drew from his waist
i put two in his roof
and i can still hear his screams 
all night 

now they ride their portfolios 
like rodeos
rise every time my cherry glows
on the end of my cig as 
the smoke blows through the bars
and the co’s laugh fades
as he strolls away 
says i gotta pay 
off that roll away 
or its fuck your visitation days
and i pop off so in solitaire 
i dream of offing these fred astaires 
and the skin off my fingers tear 
we digging for windows here 
where the days are all night 

this city’s a trap my partner
under the lights of they choppers
bodies tools for they coffers
not worth the cost of our coffins
i stare at a future so toxic
no trust in the dust of a promise
won’t mark the name on a ballot
so they can be free to devour our options 
and just like you I’m a target
ill defined by the guap in my pocket
but the stage make figures 
as quick as it off em 
what marley  and pac get? 
i put these caps in capitals 
leave minds blazed in they capitols 
i step with a fury so actual fact 
that my offense could be capital 

we digging for windows here
