While\u003cbr\u003ethe subject matter flows between heavy themes, the arrangements remain lush and\u003cbr\u003ebuoyant, ensuring the record never sinks into melodrama. 'Gathering Dust' is a\u003cbr\u003estrange, shimmering beauty; pairing the harmonic complexity of 70s jazz-pop with a\u003cbr\u003eraw, modern vulnerability that feels strikingly personal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, Soft Top's songs pair intimate, story- driven lyricism with rich, carefully\u003cbr\u003elayered arrangements, brought to life by a seven-piece band (featuring Guitar, Bass,\u003cbr\u003eDrums, Keyboards, Clarinet, Cello, and Flute) whose textures move gently between\u003cbr\u003eindie rock, chamber pop and soft rock. The result is a sound that tugs at the\u003cbr\u003eheartstrings quietly and deliberately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing members of Hutch, Tinman and Sad Dads, the band was formed in March\u003cbr\u003e2023 as the songwriting project of Miles Goodall. Soft Top blends classic soft-rock\u003cbr\u003ewarmth with a distinctly modern indie intimacy. The project draws influence from the\u003cbr\u003enarrative detail of Andy Shauf, the melodic sensitivity of Matt Maltese and the lush\u003cbr\u003earrangements of Steely Dan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntro \u003cbr\u003eYour Aching Words \u003cbr\u003eLayla's House \u003cbr\u003eRear View Mirror \u003cbr\u003eDrowning In The Shadows \u003cbr\u003eGathering Dust \u003cbr\u003ePaving Stones  \u003cbr\u003eWaiting Game \u003cbr\u003eDreaming of Someone \u003cbr\u003eNot Enough\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
