There’s a feeling of melancholy that’s palpable out here across the land, and Soft Loft are tugging at the heartstrings of the soundtrack.
The Switzerland-based collective led by vocalist and songwriter Jorina Stamm released a remarkable new single called “Leave The Light On” yesterday (January 8), a shimmering, twang-kissed slice of emotive indie-pop that sets a pretty intriguing tone for new EP Modern Roses, out April 25 via [PIAS] Recordings.
“Leave The Light On” stirs up all the feelings of experiencing loss, via the things a person leaves behind and the impact those things have on the person who is trapped in mourning.
“The light is never really out, and they keep falling back to each other, but never really in a good way,” says Stamm, her voice extending out of the speakers like a warm, weathered hug of someone who knows. “There’s always a little bit of water left in the kettle to keep it boiling. It’s that fine line between something good and something you never want to go back to. And you keep on wishing for that person to just turn the light off.”
