This will sound like slander but I dig this so much more than the previous two SPT releases

A new Soft Pink Truth album is on the way! Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?

Hey! I have some news! Time to put SxPxTx into SuPer Tuesday! Thanks to the help of many friends, I'm now able to announce a NEW album by The Soft Pink Truth. "Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?" will come out on Thrill Jockey records on May 1st. The album is two sidelong 22 minute pieces and is very different from past SPT music; you can hear an element here: https://thesoftpinktruth.bandcamp.com/track/we
The artwork and design is by Robert Beatty; the mastering was done by Heba Kadry; the music features playing and/or singing from many people who are dear to me: M.C. Schmidt, Angel Deradoorian, Sarah Hennies, Jana Hunter, Colin Self, Koye Berry, Andrew Bernstein, John Berndt, and David Serotte all contributed and helped make it what it is. I'm so grateful to everyone who helped me to do this.

^^ as per Dr3w on fb.

took my breath away several times but none moreso than the transition from 'that' into 'grace'

devvvine, Monday, 4 May 2020 13:59 (three years ago) link

Just went to check the tracklist to see which transition it was that perked my ears up, but turns it was the exact same spot on the album: when the piano first comes in on Grace. Sublime.

(One question: if your conceit is that each track is named using one word from your 10-word title, then why only include 9 tracks on the album?)

yes yr right it's a lil way into grace in fact

'Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?' is one of the best records I've heard this year.

New mini album on the way. "Is it going to get deeper than this (Dark Room Mix)" sounds gorgeous/lush!

💦 SURPRISE! I've made a double album of new SPT music! 🍾 Featuring artwork by @EdSunspot and fourteen guest musicians, "Is It Going To Get Any Deeper Than This?" comes out on @thrilljockey in October, but you can hear the summery first single right here: https://t.co/nmhzrm9Kke pic.twitter.com/FKmD7abTMJ

it's a brave move covering 'the anal staircase' but he totally pulls it off.

Love this, very different-sounding to the last album but similiar in its unabashed prettiness. Something of a Luomo meets Kalabrese vibe.

I was a big fan of Shall We Go On Sinning, but this is definitely a step up. I wish i could preserve the sensation of hearing "Toot Suite" for the first time.

enochroot, Saturday, 5 November 2022 23:25 (one year ago) link

had been waiting for brad to get around to this, such a great album

ufo, Saturday, 5 November 2022 23:27 (one year ago) link

this reminds me a bit of mungolian jet set!

Beautiful beautiful record, precisely what I need to listen to right now

i love this album so much i want to live in it

Sounded great on a loud system. Best dance record I've heard in a bit. Unique texture combos

octobeard, Tuesday, 29 November 2022 22:12 (one year ago) link

Truly is a lovely album.
