Soft as Snow “Halo Heart”

07 Oct 2013 — Henry Schiller

Norwegian duo Soft as Snow (currently based in London) make synth pop for the interplanetary set. Their latest track, "Halo Heart", is cosmic in scope and tone; "Halo Heart" glides between meticulous, club-friendly directness and deep breaths of warped orchestration more than a little indicative of some proclivity for Asmovian space operas. "Halo Heart"'s six and a half minutes are varied enough that you never get too comfortable, and the vocals are stunningly idiosynchratic enough that you could never confuse Soft as Snow for just another band in the slugfest of European electro-pop.

Soft as Snow are about to embark on a small tour, starting on October 9 at London's Power Lunches Arts Cafe. Check out "Halo Heart" below and then head over to Soundcloud to listen to more tracks from Soft as Snow.
