SOFT TOUCH
Soft Touch at ROCK THE WORLD7 on 16.12.06 Kuala Lumpur Stadium
"Better World"
"Wishful Thinking"
"Love & Music"
"Listen 2 What U C live"
The Soft Touch full album is now out (released November 28 2005) and consists of the five songs already released on the Soft Touch EP: Listen 2 What U C, Happy Sad, Shelter, Wishful Thinking and Lately, which have been re-mastered for better quality, and four partially live tracks, Better World, Move on Down the Line, Love & Music and Crazy Heart recorded live at Paul's Place during the launch of the EP in April 2005 with the vocals re-dubbed in the studio for the sake of quality, and one unplugged track Mercy. Apart from the live tracks the entire album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Lemang Studio, which is a 16 track home studio, partly analogue and partly digital. The five original EP songs were all composed collectively by the band, but bass player Shahril originated Shelter and Lately, while the others were originated by Markiza and Peter. Markiza wrote the lyrics of Lately (all the lyrics are now up on our site www.lemang.com ). The cover was designed by Izzy and the CD label by Zash. The Full album is available for L3. send to: 80, Jalan Kasah, 50490 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. telephone 00603 20953045.
The style of music is indie rock with a melodic and sometimes jazzy feel, with a bit of grunge thrown in too. The rhythm section is heavy and punchy with the songs light and breezy and sometimes a bit folky. But it's folkyness with an Edge.
