Listen to the Post Punk Magick That is SOFT KILL ‘Escape Forever’

Goddammit, SOFT KILL has done it again. Their record Metta World Peace took the top spot on our 2023 Post Punk EOTYL, and it looks like Escape Forever has already solidified our #1 pick for 2024. While Metta World Peace felt like a venture into the future of the genre, Escape Forever is a glorious trip into the past. Somehow I’ve heard all these songs before but they also sound brand new. Somehow all of the tracks on this record sound completely different, like they’re paying homage to every form post punk has ever taken, but they also all sound so completely and utterly Soft Kill. Escape Forever is a brilliant record that makes me feel like I’m listening to an old favorite while I’m brimming with the excitement of something brand new. It’s giving me the same feelings of awe I had when I first listened to Heresy, but it’s a testament to how far this band’s sound has come. The vinyl’s gonna be spinning on my turntable next week and I can’t wait.

Escape Forever came out on April 12th and it’s on its second vinyl and cassette pressing—get those here. Soft Kill is headed to Mexico and Central America in June, and is back stateside touring in September, so check those dates below and listen to the magical record that is Escape Forever.
