The ghost of Lockgroove is ready to haunt your earholes once more as the brothers’ Rex have returned in Soft Skies Inc with new single “Sooner or Later” that’s so much more than just the next evolution of their sound. Whereas Lockgroove dwelled in the slow burn (Listen more here), playing the long game with their brand of Shoegaze, SSI goes big with layers upon layers of intricate Dream Alt being added in an almost rapid fire succession to make it so there’s practically something new to enjoy with each passing second.
To sum that all up: If you dug what Ryan and Martin Rex brought before then we’re sure you’ll absolutely love “Sooner Or Later”!
It’s not so much the immediate bombast that reels you in but more an explosion of aura and aural delights that represent a wide palette of sound across the Post-whatever genre while encompassing Alternative, New Wave, and more! Any comparisons to The Cure are rightly deserved from our view especially with the atmosphere created in the keys department from both the Rex’s that adds a certain denseness to the proceedings (“Just Like Heaven” very much comes to mind here) with Ryan’s vibrant voice cascading over the buoyant beats brought about by Martin hovering like the infectiousness of later Bob Mould (Mid-2010’s output) collaborating with Love and Rockets or New order following their 2001 resurgence.
