Soften

four-piece indie dreamgaze from cincinnati, oh

"There's an angular and brittle energy in their songs that gets tempered by Bri's very human voice. And the subjects they are exploring in their songs are life experiences that can harden you--but they don't have to. And we all need more songs these days."
- Angela Pancella, writer, "Music and Religion"


"A collective of four distinct personalities initially named after singer, songwriter, and guitarist Brianna Kelly, the band is now truly — at least in terms of their namesake — a band. Their debut 'seen + unseen' is less of an album and more of an experience. It washes over you like a low tide wave from a sun-drenched ocean. It has the feel of a classic shoegaze album: atmospheric but without the indecipherable lyrics. And though it is Kelly’s vocals (specifically, her vocal restraint) that are the centerpiece of this sublime seven-song EP, it is obvious from the start that this is an all-hands-on-deck affair."
