Drew Daniel of Matmos steps away from the dancefloor and into the concert hall with Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever?, his latest venture as The Soft Pink Truth. This ambitious electronic-classical fusion explores the profound forces of gradual change that shape human experience—birth, growth, aging, and death—capturing those slow transformations that often go unnoticed in our hectic daily lives.
Inspired by Daniel's academic background as an English professor at Johns Hopkins University, this eight-track symphony creates "music for that overlay" of life's longer, slower processes unfolding "cell by cell, structure by structure." The album features collaborations with a diverse cast of artists including Bill Orcutt and Andrew Bernstein of Horse Lords, making this a unique collector's piece that bridges electronic experimentation with symphonic ambition on pristine vinyl.
