Darksoft
brings out the best parts of some classic genres to breed a sound familiar,
yet all his own. Lush with addicting progressions, 90's rock undertones, and
a melodically satisfying vocal approach, Darksoft embraces the aesthetic of
alternative pop-rock anthems.
Originating out of the tech-driven mist of the Emerald City, a city in
constant limbo between digital futurism and watery introspection, Darksoft
naturally materializes as a half Steve Jobs, half Elliott Smith, a sensitive
mastermind poised to haunt your digital and emotional mainframes. As a kid
who grew up with a software company in his basement in a house surrounded by
evergreens while grunge ruled the streets, Darksoft reveals his roots in
this in-between with his 90s sadcore communicated through the language of
computer viruses, algorithms, and human emotion pure enough to pass the
Turing Test.
Following the release of his debut album Brain in late 2018, Darksoft’s
sophomore album Meltdown is set to publish in late 2019. The single
Wannacry, out 7/25, provides a window into this album. Darksoft is working
with videographer DreamboatVISTA on an accompanying music video for
Wannacry, which will screen at Darksoft’s very own festival Look Up Fest on
9/7. With deep sci-fi undertones, it’s shot from the claustrophobic point of
view of an astronaut at work on the control panels on the way to Mars.
