The Softies, a musical duo consisting of Rose Melberg from Tiger Trap and Jen Sbragia from Pretty Face, formed in 1994 with the release of their Loveseat 7″. Known for their gentle indie pop sound, they put out three albums on K Records before disbanding in 2000. After years of occasional live shows, the Softies are now making a comeback with their first album in 24 years.
The upcoming LP, The Bed I Made, is set to be released later this summer by Father/Daughter Records, coinciding with live performances on both sides of the Atlantic. Melberg and Sbragia, who have remained close friends, collaborated on the new album over nine months before recording together in Anacortes, Washington. Their latest track, “I Said What I Said,” showcases their harmonious vocals and intertwined guitars. The duo describes the song as a reflection of shared experiences and the quest for self-forgiveness and progression.
In the music video for “I Said What I Said,” the Softies perform amidst a forest backdrop, exuding a palpable warmth that draws viewers in. The tracklist for The Bed I Made and the band’s tour dates are provided below.
