The Correct Use of Soap

Magazine

A sharp, literate intersection of jagged post-punk and sophisticated art-pop. Icy synthesizers meet elastic funk basslines in a study of existential dread.

It's like if a philosophy professor fronted a funk band in a cold Manchester basement.

A sophisticated blend of intellectual detachment and simmering emotional tension.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, elastic slap-bass groove that transforms the Sly Stone cover into a paranoid post-punk anthem.
The way the synthesizers swell into a majestic, icy wall during the final chorus of A Song From Under the Floorboards.
The frantic, interlocking guitar and keyboard interplay that opens Because You're Frightened with immediate tension.
