Soft Knees - Milestone (Album release)
category: music [glöplog]
Have a go at our latest release!
________________________________________________________________________
"Milestone" is an album we started to make in 2025 on our 15-year anniversary of fruitful collaboration. It took a year to compile and it showcases well our wide variety of styles while keeping our trademark warm and lush overall sound. As usual, aside from friends contributing to quite a few tracks as visiting producers and instrument players, everything else from composing and producing to mastering was done by ourselves.
Instead of being "one-trick pony" album repeating same genre and ideas, each song is its own story and feeling. We have also put a lot of effort into making the album as a whole an enjoyable adventure going through calm and dreamy phases to laidback feeling good stuff, or sometimes even energetic and chaotic banging.
Appropriately to the theme of anniversary and in a way looking back, some of the songs are up to 10 years old drafts, now polished and mixed in with brand new music. This way the album really does recap our musical journey well.
