Soft Healer's latest release, EP, is brilliant. In the Austin band's highly crafted sound, there are levels of everything from the deeply eerie to the warm and fluid, and in their attempt to make expansive but subtle songs, their sound is reminiscent of foreplay. It touches lightly on specific organ keys here, then beats gently on tom-tom drums there, and with the vocals emanating and growing amongst the reverbed walls, you'll find this release feeling as rare as a vintage child's toy. They're intimate and jarring, nuanced and deliberate. Though it may only be four songs, EP brings with it a distinct tone that gets set in the same way reading an epilogue before diving into a new book does the same. --IMPOSE.
