Description

Numbered limited edition of 500 copies – includes download code. New band Soft Regime are a European band; consisting of a French woman (the singer Astrid Rostaing), a German (the producer and songwriter Christian Flamm), and an Englishman (Tim Benton, songwriter, lyricist, and once-frontman of BAXENDALE). Their first single is named after an Italian artist, which they are releasing on a Spanish label. A band without borders, but with a clear focus on togetherness and polished dance floors. The line that summarizes the group’s concept says it all: “To be strict on softness, but soft on strictness, to make hot emotional pop in a glacial synthetic frame”. “Michelangelo” is the lead song on their first single – a true ode to europop, with vocoders, luminous melodies, and super-danceable choruses. “Pedestrian Sunset” comes in a curious format – the song is divided between the A and B-sides on the physical single – and to wrap things up, the statement of intent that is their cover of The Clientele’s “The Queen Of Seville”
