Биография

It's that time of year again: summer is lurking just around the corner, still uninflated pool float in hand. Those of us with an inclination for Summer Madness know—the ambivalent part of the year starts now. Where winter lets you escape to the shelter of your home to indulge in your favorite moody playlists, now there's days on the beach. Socializing. Sunscreen. So-called “good times.” How is anyone supposed to bear this? SOFT SAINTS from Cologne are the salvation. Their music captures the sound of a heartbroken summer: Candy coated melancholy, sample-based trip pop, somewhere between Khruangbin, Portishead and Santana's “Smooth”. The soundtrack of Summertime Sadness on the beaches and lakes of the world. Simon Armbruster, Florian Bonn and Max zur Jacobsmühlen embrace listeners with their sound collage combining laid back breakbeats, breezy synths, yearning guitars, and bittersweet vocals to form songs that hit straight into the back of your emotional core.
