The Soft Hills

A Seattle-based band with as much affinity for sweet melodies as experimentation, The Soft Hills draw from a wide range of influences from folk to indie rock to psychedelic, drawing on literary and philosophical themes as well as music, and incorporating experiences from dreams and the extraterrestrial. Their unique blend of acoustic instruments, layered vocals, and guitar textures bring to mind alt-rock heavy hitters such as Sigur Rós, The Flaming Lips, and The Shins.
