SOFT COPY http://softcopymusic.com "Soft Copy’s abstract and muscular anthems fuse both Sonic Youth and Mission of Burma at their very best [...] listen to it on repeat until your ears melt."

We’re very happy to announce the release of Games on November 5, 2011. We’re proud to say that true to tradition, the 3-song EP was entirely written and recorded by Soft Copy, with an absolute minimum of studio trickery: just 100% honest to goodness live off the floor noise. It’s available on iTunes, but why not have a listen first.

Similarly, the original artwork is by London-based artist Emer O’Brien, in a tradition of us working with other artists and designers such as Paul Boddum and Dan McCafferty (no, not the lead singer of Nazareth, the Toronto based designer) and Shelley Heebner McCafferty.
