while we were dormant, @emartiphoto never slowed down, continuing to shoot some of our fave bands & document each experience. today we're finally sharing everything they captured. ✨🧵

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

first up, we've got @BlakeRoseMusic at the @showboxpresents SoDo from 9/20/22, who's curating a live show experience with the specific goal of prompting a proposal & a lot of love. 💗

.@xboygeniusx is the ultimate supergroup: equally strong musically whether together or apart. but within the tracks on 'the record', you can find threads that tie back to each individual. we broke down which songs match which genius: https://t.co/wNSb7T4HNS

@eleanorgrace thank you, I was pretty proud when I thought of it to be honest 😌

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

hey music twitter, goSSP girl here… and I have the biggest news ever. spotted online, new logo in hand: Soft Sound Press. was it only a year ago our it-blog mysteriously disappeared for “hiatus”? and just as suddenly they’re back. don’t believe me? see for yourselves. 💘

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

📞 hello? oh, hey! it’s for you 🤳
it’s @JK_Kender, she says the new @phoneboymusic album “Moving Out” is a vibe and she wants to break it down for you song by song… vibe by vibe. are you answering the call?

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

much like the pop girlies and dramatic ass bands that have come before us... when you have an incoming big announcement, you have to go quiet & reappear with a whole new look. the new era begins 🔜

💤💤💤

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

blown away by the emails & messages we've gotten already, I'll be responding to everyone starting tomorrow!! thank you! 🥹

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

sorry we’ve been gone, we’ve missed you! but we have some absolutely bonkers plans for 2023… wanna join us & make some magic? have a different way you’d like to get involved? send an email, DM your questions, let’s chat 🎶📢 [email protected]

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

@familydinnerusa LMAOOOOOOO I love y’all, you are forgiven

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

today I listened to 1000 songs in my inbox, so this is your warning that a playlist update and a whole slew of posts are looming over the horizon

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

in any case... the plans still stand, they are very over the top, and we'll soon be looking for team members in a variety of roles. 🌟 while the official postings aren't up yet, you can still find our call for contributors here: https://t.co/N1PNmCyEzc

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

it's been an unintentionally quiet year on SSP, which is frustrating when we had so many big plans!! but you can't control when life throws you a curveball... or hooks up one of those pitching machines to launch one at you every 20 seconds

[Soft Sound Press @softsoundpress]

@HollowTwin PLEASE

[hate5six @hate5six]

The @NewYorker wanted to feature hate5six. I agreed on the condition I talk about @MumiaAbuJamal's innocence & fight to bring him home. As expected much of what I said wasn't included given the 40 years of editorial reluctance in his case.
