If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Julien Brier We loved the unique blend of Latin rhythms, folk, and dance music we heard in Kiltro's previous two singles, but their latest seems to have come out of nowhere. "Softy" still has all of those elements, but it's both the most mainstream pop of their previous singles while still being the most left-field. The Denver based band have created a song that almost sounds like something that could easily be played on an Adult Contemporary radio station if it wasn't so odd. It's just soaking in too much reverb to ever to considered mainstream, even though Chris Bowers Castillo just has a voice your mom would adore.  You can listen to "Softy" below. Underbelly is due out June 2. For more on Kiltro, check out the band's website . Upcoming tour dates are below the song.

"Softy" has all the intimacy of a bedroom recording. It sounds like confessional singer/songwriter style music, but Jodi includes the slightest twang in there to edge it just barely into country. It's a lovely song that is only going to get better with repeat listens, and the kind of song that you're going to want to drop what you're doing and truly pay attention to. Nick Levine says that the song "...  is a letter to a friend, a reality check, and a reminder of the sheer scale of the world (and our relative smallness). ” You can watch the lyric video for "Softy" below. Blue Heron is due out July 16 on Sooper Records. For more on Jodi, check out the artist's Facebook and Twitter .
