The Soft Pink Truth

Drew Daniel’s the Soft Red Truth grew from a dare. While Daniel was carrying out in Paris with Martin Schmidt as Matmos, Matthew Herbert challenged him to produce a home record. Daniel responded with 2001’s Soft Red Missy 12″, which Herbert released on his Soundslike label. Daniel proceeded to go beyond the dare and held the project heading — a good decision given the effectiveness of the debut. The next 12″, Promofunk, didn’t arrive until past due 2002, however the wait around was really worth it; it included a delirious, infectious upgrade of Vanity 6’s “CONSTITUTE” (offering vocals from Blevin Blectum), and “Gender Research,” a dancefloor-bound medical center in test stitching. Early 2003 noticed the release from the full-length WOULD YOU Party?, which gathered the eight songs from the prior produces and added three extra tracks. The Performing Crazy 12″ arrived later that 12 months, including a fresh creation and remixes from Herbert, Security Scissors, and Brooks. Past due in 2004, WOULD YOU LIKE New Influx or WOULD YOU LIKE the Soft Red Truth discovered Daniel reimagining punk and hardcore tunes from your ’70s and ’80s — and a Carol Channing tune — as dance music. Though Daniel supplied Soft Green Truth remixes for performers such as for example Grizzly Bear through the 2000s and 2010s, it wasn’t until 2014 that he came back using the project’s third full-length record. Why Perform the Heathen Trend? gave the Soft Green Truth treatment to loss of life steel, and included collaborations with associates of Locrian, Wye Oak and Antony Hegarty.
