Detour [LP]

Extremely limited vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Soft Science, from Sacramento, California, creates a unique form of Dream Pop, inspired by '90s Shoegaze and '60s British Pop. The group is comprised of Katie Haley (Holiday Flyer), and twin brothers Ross and Matt Levine (Welt, the Tank), and bass player Mason DeMusey (Forever Goldrush). in 2011, Soft Science released their debut album, High and Lows. Pop Matters said in it's review that the band 'has the potential to become one of the great Left Coast Power Pop bands.' Detour expands on ideas developed in their previous venture: creating Pop music with a sonic edge. Although the band never steers too far from it's core Pop sensibilities, Detour evokes a somewhat darker mood musically than Soft Science's previous work. Soft Science band members have a shared love of classic bands such as, Ride, the Jesus And Mary Chain, and newer artists such as Beach House and Frankie Rose, elements of which are present in their music.
