Soft Pink Truth Releases Hypnotic and Hopeful Album on Global Fascism

The Soft Pink Truth, the electronic project of Matmos member Drew Daniel, has released a new album titled 'Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?'. Despite its subject matter — the rise of global fascism — the record is remarkably beautiful, optimistic, and healing.

Unlike Daniel's previous solo work, which often relied on distortion and house beats, this album trades those elements for a hypnotic and ambient texture. While it still features heavily manipulated field recordings and samples typical of Matmos, they are used to create a more organic and atmospheric sound.

'Shall We Go On Sinning...' leans heavily on live instrumentation and real-time improvisation, giving it a spontaneous feel compared to the meticulous sample-based approach of earlier Soft Pink Truth releases. Daniel describes the album as a celebration of human creativity and art's power to heal.

The nine-track album moves seamlessly from the unsettling drones of 'Shall' to the minimal new-age thump of 'We', the prayer-like 'Go', and the ocean-front ambience of 'On'. The centerpiece 'Sinning' blends abstract saxophone blasts with bells and vibraphones over a simple four-on-the-floor kick drum, creating an undeniable groove. Tracks like 'So', 'That', and 'Grace' continue the journey, while closer 'May Increase' deconstructs the built-up chaos into a final deep exhale.

The album is available now on Bandcamp and all major streaming services, including YouTube Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and Deezer.
