Soft Records 

is 25 years old!

Soft began as a vehicle to release the first Purdy album 'Kevolution', which was released, quite strangely, in the last two weeks of the millennium. Normally that would be the worst time to release an album, which should have gone by unnoticed, amongst the madness of Xmas and New Years, but it didn't. It was beautifully received and got the ball rolling for this lovely new label.

The ensuing 25 years that have travelled by since that magical beginning have continued to reap wonder for the label and its' artists.

Apart from the key artists released on Soft: Kevin Purdy, Sir Robbo (Shane Roberts), Purdy and John Maddox as Tooth and Geoff Towner, there has been a plethora of amazing artists who gave themselves, body & soul, to the albums released.

Peter Hollo, Tim Hollo, Jeremy Barnett, Rory Toomey, Daevid Allen, Sloth, Tim Batson, Kym Moyes, Bobby Singh, Inga Liljestrom, Duncan Irving, Jim Denley, The Kooky Kids, Joe Cannon, Paula Henderson, Lyndon Pike, Penny McBride, Yasmin Percy, Christian Houllemare, Simon Ferenci, William Bowden, Erica Olsen, Amanda Stewart, Niveen Abdelatty, Alex Crowfoot, Donna Amini and once again John Maddox.

You are thanked from the bottom of our Soft Heart.

11 albums and 2 12"s may seem a tiny output for 25 years, but everything has been done with love, and care for the sounds and vision that we put out there, and a focus on how we feed the people of the world.

Thanks for all the love we've received over the years for the music on Soft Records. 

Hundreds & Thousands is here!

 

The new Kevin Purdy album 'Hundreds & Thousands' (SOFT013) has been released today.

Kevin has taken a left turn at Albuquerque, ending up in a bright, new territory of ear candy and musical delights. You still get that ol' cinematic, psychotropic Purdy magic, but coming to you from another angle, one which we hope you'll enjoy.

You can check out and download the album on Bandcamp 

https://purdy.bandcamp.com/album/hundreds-thousands

The download comes with a very very short film for the title track.

The album is also available on streaming services as a download

Hundreds & Thousands is on its way!

 Hey kiddos

I've got some fab news for you.

I've recently completed my latest album 'Hundreds & Thousands'.

I'm very happy with this new creation. Something different and fresh, but hinting back to earlier works like 'Body Variations'. 

The album has been sent of to William Bowden so that he can apply his magical musical mastery, so we should be seeing the results in the next few weeks.

For now, I'll only be releasing the album on Bandcamp as a download and putting it on streaming services.

If there's enough interest in a physical release, which I'm hoping for, we'll do that too, down the line.

I'll be sending further info, links and sound bites soon.
