Today, one of the most beloved minimal pop acts of all time, The Softies, share their latest single "Tiny Flame." It's taken from The Bed I Made, their first album in 24 years, out August 23. The track is a simple and bittersweet recollection of a doomed love affair, as Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia harmonize their light and airy vocals with gentle guitar. "Tiny Flame" is the follow up to "California Highway 99." Accompanying the track, you can read a new interview between the band & Joshua Minsoo Kim on Tone Glow.
The Softies have also announced an extra date in New York City on their upcoming tour in North America throughout the late summer, into fall. More information below.
On the single, Rose Melberg shares: “Sometimes the same heat that can set a heart aflame can also burn some shit to the ground.”
