A dynamic meld of dreamy sonics and riot grrrl-inspired angst, Softcult are driving home a record with a message. The debut EP is packed with 90s grunge inspiration and wears its gritty, gloomy image on its sleeve.
Armed with a new look, the Arn-Horn twins are unafraid of baring their teeth and saying what they really mean. The duo elaborated on how they found freedom in their unapologetic sound. “When you’re not scared about what other people are gonna think you tend to write differently,” the band told GAY TIMES. “We started getting more comfortable and confident writing honestly and realised it’s good to have your own identity.” Softcult’s EP, Year of the Rat, deals with personal topics that have impacted both the sisters.
