The Soft Option
Calgary, AB
A road trip through a forest of sprites with cymbals and broken television screens is only one that can be taken with Soft Option. “Garage” may be too simplistic an epithet, but this bluesy, grimy, post-punk quartet doesn’t strive for adjectival greatness – they just deceive you into thinking their alternative is tender and supple.
