On ‘Swishers‘, Chicago artist Softmax uses lavish yet dystopian storytelling to explore modern disconnectedness.
Warped synth tones and staggered beats showcase an innovative and experimental sound design, while her airy delivery conjures an ethereal style.
Over a sublime music bed, Softmax reflects on the gulf between our inner lives and curated online personas. Her oblique lyrics and rich delivery create an arresting air of near-future melancholy. ‘Swishers‘ exhibits her talent for worldbuilding.
Beyond its compelling narrative, the production captivates – melding pop gloss with electronic edge to mesmerising effect. This is the work of an artist with a singular creative vision.
