Soft Talk - Mercy

Recording info

Soft Talk is the latest alias that Natal Zaks - our longtime Danish friend and a musician we've been constantly releasing under different monikers throughout the last 5 years - picked out for us. He is hands down the most talented producer we've ever met and it's always a privilege to be able release his music under any name he chooses. We've seen his music go through many transformations and they were always for the best. This time we feel the exact same thing, that this is our favorite music ever and we'll never want to release anything else again. That's never true of course, but the Mercy EP does feel a lot like that.

Natal debuts his Soft Talk project on Origami Sound, where he also released under Aebeloe, Escar, half of Averos and many more aliases. He is currently part of the immensely talented Regelbau collective from Aarhus, Denmark as well as one of the people behind Help Recordings. His consistency in quality and the depth of musical understanding he displays is astonishing and we'll be happy to finally see him out there in the 'circuit', gigging and releasing his gems on some of our favorite labels.

Each of the 4 tracks on this 12" has its unique background story - for example Radar went through many takes on an old analog device that Natal's university had in a studio - and we love all 4 just as much. This music is so tangible, so easy to single out and so rewarding upon listening or playing that we don't even want to give it away. But then again, that's what we love most about great music.
