Following on from two strong EP releases that established himself as an artist to watch, lo-fi dream pop producer Soft Powder returns with brand new music to bolster said momentum heading into 2022.
The Melbourne producer's new single 'Running Through The Dark' is an ethereal and captivating slice of music - exemplary of his natural ear for sonics and talent for weaving together different strands of music together in creating something contemporary and fresh.
'Running Through The Dark' is an accomplished step forward for Soft Powder, who is continuing to flourish as a composer, songwriter, engineer and producer.
Inspired by Hong Kong and Taiwanese New Wave cinema, as well as lofty '80s synths and guitar lines, 'Running Through The Dark' conjures up images of lit up cityscapes and neon-infused nightlife. A blend of nostalgia and something more crisp, more now - the single represents a chase for relief amongst the chaos.
"'Running Through The Dark' echoes those moments when your mind spins, everything's a blur, and it feels like you're spiralling out of control. It's about frantically searching for a "spark" to make the anxiety disappear, despite not knowing when or where this "spark" will present itself. It's about becoming obsessed with this idea of momentary relief." SOFT POWDER
