Softcult - See You in the Dark (2023)

Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn make music as Softcult. The Ontario-based artists haven't released a long-playing album yet, but See You in the Dark makes already their third EP. And it may well be the best one yet.

This is the kind of music that blends the energy and fun of indie rock with the expression of punk and the dreaminess of noise pop. Everything is very melodic, the pace is high and it makes you feel like dancing. Songs like Dress are real bangers that could be in the repertoire of the biggest indie rock bands. But there is also a hint of melancholia, some sadness in the compositions' dispersed vocals and hazey backgrounds. And the further the album goes, the more striking it is. The final songs are pure guitar haze with delicate vocals put on top: a music to feel and to shed a tear to (Love Song is sooo beautiful).

See You in the Dark costs 6 USD.
