Actors press:
“Vancouver’s brilliant post-punk and new-wave quartet ACTORS continue their flair for sonic cinematics in the video for their latest track ‘Face Meets Glass’... The atmosphere quivers with singer Jason Corbett’s crooning reverb augmented by shivering guitars and stark synths.”
— POST-PUNK.COM
“ACTS OF WORSHIP ...an album that promises to become a “classic” of its kind…”
— Ascension Magazine
“Sounds like neon-lit black leather...”
— BrooklynVegan
Soft Vein bio:
Observations on love, lust and the human condition from a passionately detached narrator. SOFT VEIN, the electronic project of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Justin Chamberlain, blends elements of darkwave, industrial, EBM and electro-pop, with the aim to embrace duality, creating a sound equally inspired by romance and cynicism, by nostalgia and modernity, by the warm ache of love, desire and yearning - and the cold reality of longing, loneliness and loss.
SOFT VEIN was formed in 2022, debuting with a pair of singles, ‘GIVEUPTHEGHOST’ and ‘VIOLENTIA’, garnering a cult following in the Los Angeles darkwave scene and that would continue to grow. In late 2023, SOFT VEIN signed to Artoffact Records and released his debut album, ‘PRESSED IN GLASS,’After performing select tour dates, SOFT VEIN returned to the studio to record his sophomore album ‘THROUGH BLINDS,' evolving upon his unique brand of darkly romantic, industrial-tinged electronic music from a new perspective - creating a unique blend of “nostalgic futurism” and eschewing the icy cold landscape and aesthetics of the first album in favor of heat, desire and fantasy.
‘THROUGH BLINDS’ came out everywhere on January 17th, 2025 via Artoffact Records.
