SOFT RIOT / No Longer Stranger / EP

No Longer Stranger is six tracks of isolationist night music. This isn’t late night club music but sounds of dimly lit rooms and dark street corners. Conceptualized a few years back after late nights under an influence, Soft Riot came to be as a musical creation of JJD (Jack Duckworth) of the London, England based psych electronic post-punk outfit Savage Furs.

Tracing a trajectory from his former home of Vancouver BC, the tracks from No Longer Stranger were built in pieces over months and months in his new English home and then completed in a few feverish weeks after a large stroke of inspiration. Themes from science fiction, isolation, fantasy, romance and psychedelia run throughout the course of this collection of “space ballads”. Drawing inspiration from synthesizer-based film soundtracks of yesteryear, drones, minimal wave electronics past and present and a heavy dose of throbbing appregiated rhythms, the tracks of No Longer Stranger are minimal pulsing pop songs coming from the distance with whispering voices weaving throughout.

The closing track “Electrolux” is originally written and recorded by the early 90s Dischord Records post-hardcore band Hoover, is re-imagined as a filmic electronic piece.

Available through PANOSPRIA as a free digital download.

SOFT RIOT / Soft Riot/ Demo CD

This recording is a collection of first recordings done in 2006. Sounds instigated from late nights under an influence, early primal electronics, dub, psychedelics, maybe a little “rock” here and there — bringing musical tones under a sharp focus. Fractured ballads and soundspaces leaking black fluids into the back of your skull. Small sounds from absolute silence / low pulses / whispers from under the bed / blasts of noise / faint melodies of love, hope, and paranoia. Released 2006.
