Soft Bodies Bleed Out: A Sonic Dive into the Weird and Wonderful
Let’s get one thing straight—Soft Bodies Bleed Out isn’t your average electronic album. Released in 2017 by UK-based label Soft Bodies Records, this experimental gem feels like someone took a blender to all the rules of music-making and hit "puree." It’s chaotic, it’s intriguing, and honestly? It’s kinda brilliant.
First off, big ups to Jodie Lowther for the artwork. Whoever decided that abstract blobs of color could double as cover art clearly knew what they were doing because it perfectly matches the vibe of the record: unpredictable yet oddly satisfying.
Now, onto the tracks. With titles like Lunatic Lantern and The Butterfly is Ending Soon, you know you’re not walking into some cookie-cutter playlist. But two songs really stuck with me—and maybe they’ll stick with you too.
Track 1: “Byebye”
This track hits you right away with its eerie synth loops and glitchy beats that sound like your phone dying mid-conversation. There’s something haunting about how simple it is—just enough melody to keep you hooked but plenty of weirdness to make you wonder if aliens had a hand in producing it. By the time the distorted vocals kick in (or at least I think those are vocals), you start questioning reality itself. Is this goodbye? Or just hello to confusion? Either way, it’s unforgettable.
Track 8: “Object of Revulsion”
Oh man, where do I even begin? This song sounds like an argument between robots who’ve just discovered emotions. The bassline grumbles like a stomach after a bad curry, while these high-pitched squeals dart around like mosquitoes on steroids. And yet—it works. Somehow, it manages to be both unsettling and hypnotic. You won’t love it immediately, but trust me, it’ll burrow into your brain like an earworm from another dimension.
Other highlights include Time To Get Things Done (ironically titled since listening to it might distract you from productivity) and 3am (which sounds exactly how staring at the ceiling at 3 AM feels). The whole album has this raw, unfiltered energy that makes it feel less like polished perfection and more like an artistic tantrum—which is refreshing in today’s overly curated world.
So yeah, Soft Bodies Bleed Out isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for chart-topping bangers or easy-listening vibes, this ain’t it. But if you dig music that challenges your ears and messes with your head, give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start hearing things late at night.
Final thought? Listening to this album feels like being invited to a party where no one speaks the same language—but somehow, everyone still understands each other. Oddly comforting, right? Now go listen before the butterfly ends soon. Whatever that means.
This release is available as a download from https://softbodies.bandcamp.com/album/soft-bodies-bleed-out in the following formats: MP3 V0, MP3 320, FLAC, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, ALAC, WAV, AIFF.
