The Soft Pink Truth - Why Do The Heathen Rage?
ReviewsCommentDrew Daniel of Matmos embarks upon some truly unforseen black metal covers on this latest album of his under the Soft Pink Truth name.
The Soft Pink Truth - "Black Metal"
New Tracks3 Commentshttps://soundcloud.com/thrilljockey/the-soft-pink-truth-black Drew Daniel, best known as one half of Baltimore-based electronic music duo Matmos, is back with his first album in ten years under his handle The Soft Pink Truth. The album is, strangely enough, a love letter to the black metal genre - just in case you couldn't discern that from the title of this lead single. And yeah, it's a compelling combination of black metal and house music, featuring vocal assistance from fellow Baltimorian artist Bryan Collins. There are some head-turning guests on this thing by the look of it - the album apparently opens with a gay spoken-word narration from Antony Hegarty and Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner lends her voice to a song called "Ready to Fuck." Color me intrigued.
Why Do the Heathen Rage? is due out June 17 via Thrill Jockey.
