Soft Metals wields a genre blurring brand of voltaic pop that draws inspiration from a spectrum of sources including krautrock, synth wave, and techno. They’ve won over audiences in environments as varied as experimental noise shows in dingy basements, to sleek, modern nightclubs, to clandestine after hours warehouse parties, to dimly lit dives where post punk and synthpop records fuel the dance floor.
