Soft Lit flick a switch on the future with self-titled EP

Everything about Soft Lit - from the space-age, business time attire to their slick pop - looks ahead to the future. Flying cars and time travelling machines might not be a reality (depending on who you ask), but Tara Chacon and Tyler McCauley’s music assuredly paves the way forward.

On their self-titled EP via GODMODE, they give nods to house and chart-ready hits without ever looking back. Chacon’s vocals could pierce through anything, and they’re given space to roam in the finger-clicking ‘I Can’t Help It’ and the heady pulse of ‘Ocean King’.

Both Chacon and McCauley had a hand in producing Shamir’s debut album ‘Ratchet’, and their first step as a duo finds them in similar form to Bailey, shunning the past and zooming ahead.

DIY’s got the first play of Soft Lit’s EP below.
