Bio
Soft Bodies is a collection of songwriters and musicians based mostly in Leicester in the UK. We are currently writing songs, recording demos and searching for vocalists.
So you’ll be wanting a list of influences. These things inevitably are very useful for alienating people and are impossible to compile. We agree much more readily about which bands we despise than those we like, but let’s not get overly negative this early.
Here are a few safe options: The Smiths, Talking Heads, The Aphex Twin, David Bowie, The Foo Fighters, Pixies, Elvis Costello, Joy Division, Prince, Björk, XTC, The Divine Comedy, Jane’s Addicition, Public Image Limited, The Dead Kennedys etcetera...
Written out like that it’s an incredibly bland list. And it isn’t even useful information for describing our sound. You should really listen to some of our demos. We write music in several different genres so you’ll probably find something you like. The common theme that all our songs share is a kind of blackly humourous indifference, so your sense of humour is probably the best indicator of whether you’ll like us or not.
At the moment we are searching for vocalists to help complete some of these demos. You will notice that many of them have rough guide vocals which need re-recording. If you think you have something to add to these tracks, get in touch with Soft Bodies.
