The Soft Pink Truth is Drew Daniel, one half of acclaimed electronic duo Matmos, Shakespearean scholar and a celebrated producer and sound artist. Daniel started the project as an outlet to explore visceral and sublime sounds that fall outside of Matmos’ purview, drawing on his vast knowledge of rave, black metal and crust punk obscurities while subverting and critiquing established genre expectations. On the new album Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase? Daniel takes a bold and surprising new direction, exploring a hypnagogic and ecstatic space somewhere between deep dance music and classical minimalism as a means of psychic healing.

Murky, ambient, relaxing weirdness, somewhere between deep dance and minimalism. Exquisite production, with heavy use of a Roland 501 Space Echo on the master channel, creating a nostalgic feel. Recommended tracks: 'We', 'Grace'. FFO: Aphex Twin, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Djrum.
