When associated with music making, it\u2019s a name that inevitably suggest the notion, or even celebration, of happenstance and serendipity, and that\u2019s certainly part of the spirit evoked by \u2018Mechanism\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>A largely electronic pairing, Soft Error are otherwise known as Tim and Rupert, both of whom have musical backgrounds in dance music\/DJ culture and composition for film, theatre and TV respectively. Soft Error, however, represents a thrilling new artistic beginning rather than being simply another musical \u2018project\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Mechanism\u2019 offers a fresh and singular brand of musical intrigue by reaching back and forward simultaneously \u2013 drawing from the innovative, propulsive thrum of\u00a01970s Krautrock\u00a0and the grainy textures and tonalities of the\u00a0BBC Radiophonic Workshop\u00a0on one hand, the symphonic, futuristic soundscapes of composers like\u00a0Cliff Martinez,\u00a0John Carpenter and\u00a0Jon Hopkins\u00a0on the other.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there is also something wonderfully timeless about the nine, finely wrought essays on \u2018Mechanism\u2019, across which synthesisers, keyboards and drum machines are deployed for their sonic and emotive possibilities, rather than as a nod to any particular niche or trend. Indeed, Soft Error demonstrate a facility for fashioning both intimate textural detail and strong melody, often in the same song.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Mechanism\u2019 is available for pre-order here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/t.ymlp55.com\/mhmmataejqjeaxamsapammy\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">iTunes<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/t.ymlp55.com\/mhmjalaejqjeakamsatammy\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Rough Trade<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Electronic duo\u00a0Soft Error\u00a0have announced their debut album \u2018Mechanism,\u2019 which will be out via Village Green on January 13, 2017.
