Our Take

Soft Cell's latest remix EP, "Cruelty Without Beauty," takes fans on a sonic journey that is as unpredictable as a British weather forecast. The white vinyl release serves as a canvas for this duo's iconic sound, giving fans a fresh perspective on their classic hits.

The EP kicks off with a reimagined version of "Youth" that adds layers of synth and beats, creating a dance floor anthem that is impossible to resist. The remix of "Le Grand Guignol" takes listeners on a dark and twisted ride, incorporating haunting vocals and intricate production that will leave you questioning reality.

"Monoculture" gets a funky makeover that will have even the most stoic listener grooving along, while "Together Alone" takes a more introspective turn, with brooding beats and melancholic melodies that tug at the heartstrings.

Overall, Soft Cell's "Cruelty Without Beauty Remixes EP" is a testament to their enduring legacy in the music industry.

About the artist

Soft Cell

Soft Cell: Synth-Pop Pioneers and the Masters of Electro-Clash Soft Cell, formed in 1977, is a duo that can be best described as a musical rollercoaster ride through the neon-lit streets of 80s Soho. With Marc Almond's unique vocals and Dave Ball's innovative synth work, the duo quickly rose to fame with their chart-topping hit "Tainted Love." But Soft Cell is not just a one-hit wonder. Their music delves into darker corners of human emotion, with tracks like "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" and "Sex Dwarf" exuding a raw, unapologetic energy that is both captivating and controversial. Their sound can be best described as a mix of new wave, synth-pop, and electronica, with hints of punk and avant-garde thrown in for good measure. It's a heady blend that defies categorization, much like the band themselves. With a career spanning over four decades, Soft Cell has left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing countless artists in the process. Their ability to seamlessly blend catchy pop hooks with an edgy, underground sensibility is a testament to their enduring appeal. Soft Cell's live performances are not to be missed, with Almond's theatrical stage presence and Ball's masterful command of the synths creating a mesmerising experience that will leave you breathless. So grab your leather jacket, tease your hair, and get ready to dance the night away with Soft Cell. Trust us, you won't regret it.
