Soft Vein "THROUGH BLINDS"

On his sophomore album ‘THROUGH BLINDS,’ electronic artist SOFT VEIN boldly pushes forward, finding common ground with his debut album ‘PRESSED IN GLASS’ while evolving and carving out a musical identity of his own.Dancefloor ready even at its most bleak and melancholic, the 10-track album draws from both the familiar and the new, creating a unique blend of “nostalgic futurism,” with the signature duality of SOFT VEIN’s sound on full display. Entries like “FALLING,” “THROUGH BLINDS,” and “WASTING DAYS” swim and sway in the night, painting bleak, darkly romantic pictures of love and loss; while industrial-tinged tracks like “GOD WHISPERS” and “BLACK BAG” scathe and sneer and stalk, shades of something sinister and paranoid shining through. On the album’s themes and sound, SOFT VEIN’s Justin Chamberlain says:“This album is more about me as an observer of others, and sometimes even feeling like an observer in my own life. I wrote in this very ‘detached narrator’ sort of way…a lot of year
