DEADPUNK PRESENTS:SOFTCULT (Toronto, Canada)
“We’re unlearning this pop writer mentality of, ‘You have to write a radio single!’ That’s not what Softcult is about.”
This release of pent-up energy is also evident in their move towards shoegaze and grunge, with even heavier sounds on the way, too (“We’re experimenting with some more industrial vibes…”). These new soundscapes seamlessly complement Softcult’s lyrics, lending an edge to their words while still giving people something to sing along to. But, crucially, that message will always be leading the way. “We do feel a responsibility – almost a desperation – to change things before our time is over,” shares Mercedes, while Phoenix adds: “It’s our time to take the torch and hopefully make things better for the generation after us.”
When the world came to a screeching halt in early 2020, twin siblings Phoenix (They/Them) and Mercedes Arn-Horn (She/Her) saw the opportunity to begin anew. After more than a decade of making music together, they seized the opportunity to explore something new and different, not knowing where the road would lead them.
