Soft Covers are Laura, James and Dan. After kicking around in a steady stream of bands over the years: Dumb Things, People Mover, Future Haunts, among others; they found themselves with a free afternoon and a last-minute practice room vacancy. After gleefully passing some half-finished songs back and forth, they each piled on, then put the kettle on and decided to finish them. These songs formed the basis of their first cassette ‘Permanent Part Time’, recorded in the same practice room they were written in. For their debut album, ‘Soft Serve’ they moved out of the practice room and into the studio. While the instrumentation expanded, inspirations widened, and themes deepened, the DIY approach remains the same. Formed in Meanjin/Brisbane, the band is now based in Naarm/Melbourne. They take set times seriously. - Little Lunch Records
