Softcult

Softcult is a Canadian indie rock band, consisting of sibling duo Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn. Emerging as a distinct voice within the alternative music scene, their music is characterized by its dreamy, grunge-infused sound and themes that often explore issues such as feminism and mental health. Their ethereal vocals and poignant lyricism create an intimate atmosphere that blurs the lines between shoegaze, punk, and indie rock, garnering them a dedicated following among fans who crave music with both depth and distortion.

Most recently, Softcult has made waves with tracks like "Haunt You Still" and "See You In The Dark," each offering a deep dive into the band's evocative narrative style and layered sonic palette. Their appearance on "Softcult on Audiotree Live" showcases their ability to captivate audiences in a live setting, further cementing their reputation as a band to watch. With their passionate delivery and thought-provoking content, Softcult invites listeners into a world where vulnerability meets strength, and where each song is an opportunity to connect with deeper, often unspoken, human experiences.
