Song of the Day - Going Soft

Today's song of the day comes from transatlantic duo Soft Bullets. Soft Bullets are an unusual band who are unlike most of the music on here, with slow, hypnotic music. They haven't got anywhere near charting and their music is relatively hidden. In fact, I only found them because the lead singer is the same as the singer from Air Traffic, who sadly exist no longer. Chris Wall, the singer in question, is immensely talented and has a stunning voice.

So What's So Good?

I've linked the acoustic version of the song as I feel it's even better, but the normal version is pretty impressive too. The acoustic version shows off Chris Wall's beautiful voice, as he hits every note in every octave with consummate ease and astounding fragility. It's intelligent lyrically too, with some incredibly poignant lines.

It's difficult to comment on the musical structure of the acoustic version, but the normal version (Here) has some experimental electronic sounds, which add depth to this otherwise simple song. It's unusual and not your standard indie-rock sounds, but it's hypnotic and mesmerizing.

Soft Bullets have created an unorthodox take on indie-rock that's poignant and refreshing. Chris Wall's voice shines through with his stunning control, especially with his falsetto. Give them a listen, whichever version you prefer.
