I like my metal soft—then again, perhaps not—and I like Soft Metals, the slinky keyboard duo/couple that is gaining plenty of momentum on their The Cold World Melts EP and more recent self-titled LP. Released by Captured Tracks, the LP centers around the wondrous “Vocals,” which is a pleasant coincidence since that track now has a video to call its own.

The Christian Petersen-directed clip was inspired by Dario Argento and features “a kind of isolated, supernatural misfit.” Jerry Only?

  1. The Cold World Melts ep came out in 2010. And they just released a self-titled LP – like, just last week. This track, Voices, is on both of the releases. But I’m pretty sure that this video here is with the version that’s on the new LP, not from the older EP.

    I don’t have the EP on me right now, but I do have the new LP. And I remember them being different versions. Plus the vimeo page for this says this is from their new “Debut LP.”
