Soft Lashes began as a chillwave project back in 2014 by Portland-based musician and producer, Michael Tenzer, also of Lazy Legs, Eyes Behind the Veil and the eclectic cassette label, Wild Patterns. Under the Soft Lashes moniker the debut album, HYPERSENSUALITY came out in 2017, inclined toward a more eighties synthpop sound and aesthetic, before the artist changed directions again, going for this fine lo-fi and bedroom pop approach of his current work, merging dreampop with surf rock in a very much graceful manner.
Silk Decay is the first single off Soft Lashes' EP of the same name, and emerges all charming and jangly, laid back and lively at the same time, characterized by Michael's soft and broody vocals, and the quite inviting simplicity of the instrumentals.
Silk Decay will be out digitally and on cassette August 30th, 2019 via Wild Patterns.
