Soft Set ignites hope with its dreamy pop new single “Gone”
This stunning reintroduction of the Toronto-based dream-pop duo Soft Set delineates a meticulously layered auditory exploration with their latest single, “Gone,” which resonates long after its final note conclusion. The lead single from their forthcoming EP, “GONE,” embodies a delicate balance of melancholy and an uplifting paradox, reminiscent of a warm, hazy day that culminates in an unexpected chill in the air.
Renowned for exploring introspective and shadowy themes, James Gray and Nathan Athay intricately weave a tapestry of sound that pays homage to their influences, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, and My Bloody Valentine, while simultaneously preserving their unmistakable signature. “Gone” drenches listeners in lush harmonies and layered instrumental arrangements from the outset, evoking a dreamlike state one is reluctant to escape. What makes this track truly special is its evolution: conceived initially as a darker, moodier piece, it blossomed into something unexpectedly hopeful through the process of adding harmonies and nuanced textures.
The introspective lyrics possess a cathartic quality, enhanced by its ethereal arrangement. The juxtaposition of brooding undertones and a buoyant, almost celestial vibe gives “Gone” a magnetic complexity, inviting multiple listens to uncover every layer.
Soft Set continues to master the art of merging shoegaze, dream pop, and 90s Britpop into a sound that evokes nostalgia while remaining refreshingly contemporary. “Gone” is a gateway into the next chapter of their narrative, leaving audiences eager for what’s to come. It exemplifies the potential for even the most shadowy ideas to emanate luminosity through time, creativity, and a willingness to embrace change.
