AP Track Review
The track Cybersecurity from Seattle based Darksoft is from the onset an evocative piece of dream theater that moves at a soaring clip. It spins on catchy guitar lines, long synth sustains and Bill Darksoft's tender hushed vocals. As you may guess, Bill is at the core of the Darksoft project. Live they are a 3 piece outfit. Maybe it is indicative of their location, there are big touches of grunge underneath the dreaminess. Electro grunge maybe- sound noise, shoe gaze elements too. The sound oversteps dream pop and alternative rock.
Look for an album and tour in 2020.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
Darksoft finds inspiration in the encrypted, hidden motives that infect modern society, love, and communication. In this concept-driven project, every song is named after an infamous computer virus like Heartbleed, Mydoom, Code Red, ILOVEYOU, and others. Darksoft plays as a 3-piece in Seattle.
Darksoft uses breathy vocals, twangy guitars, and an overall grungey sound. Darksoft debuted their first album Brain on 10/26/18, and have since been releasing singles, working toward an album follow up and West Coast tour in 2020.
Bill Darksoft, from Seattle, leads the Darksoft project. He also runs Look Up Records, Look Up Fest, and has been a part of many projects in the Seattle area throughout the years.
