Daily electricity to load your batteries

Artists: SOFT SKIES INC
Who: The Philly twin-writing team of Ryan and Martin Rex.
With each single, the twins seek to feed your head or elevate your day.
The Soft Skies Inc‘s sound is noisy, poppy, psychedelic, melodic, driving,
exploring texture and mood and space and time.
Ryan Rex: “It’s a twist on the old saying, but darker, more self-aware. The character in the song isn’t winning much of anything – they’re stuck in this loop of bad decisions and trying to keep control while everything’s slipping away. The title kind of sums up that whole headspace in four words.
More than anything, I want people to find their own meaning in the song. But for me, it’s about the chaos of living a life that’s been off the rails for too long – trying to wrestle control over things that were never really in your hands to begin with. There’s a kind of madness in that. ”
TUTV: It doesn’t take long to get your ears involved in this slacker-rock like tune. Yes, Dinosaur Jr‘s and Sebadoh‘s twilight glow and tranquilizing vibrations come instantly
to mind.
Even when the guitars come up front and draw all attention, there’s always a hazy state of dreaminess floating in the air, extra emphasized by luminous synths. The song’s spirit has an eye/ear on the bad, outside world, but entertains aurally. I dig the combination.
