about

Soft Speaker is a Chicago-based indie rock band known for their eclectic blend of psychedelic textures, fuzzed-out guitars, and baroque instrumentation. Formed in the mid-2000s by guitarist/vocalist Paul Foreman (Salisman; Exsanguinated Roommate), their sound weaves delicate harmonies with bursts of experimental energy, drawing from both classic rock and avant-garde influences. Since 2009 they have released 7 studio albums, 2 live albums, 6 EPs and 4 singles. 'Rippling Tapestries' is their new album.

"The amateur curling league met under a borrowed moon, on whispering ice. Stones slid like sour memories while hollow-eyed poets, ex-ghosts and shameless degenerates cheered from the shadows.

In the simulation, Officer Dan left a voicemail: “In a way, I am not human.” His voice was a blend of gin and melted plastic.

Half in the bag. Time to bathe in the morning dew—while the night still hums.

And now, for your pleasure: a collection of songs for the disinfected. For the chemically cleansed. For the chambered nautilus."
