Fronted by operatically trained singer Sarah Kinlaw, SoftSpot has an echo of delicateness and ingenuity. Kinlaw and her longtime multi-instrumentalist bandmate Bryan Keller have known each other since kindergarten, but only started making music together in the past few. The longtime friends were recently joined by artist drummer (and ex Deli writer) Andrew Spaulding, who has helped nail down both their look and their sound to make them a burgeoning an art-rock force, as the experimental trio of Bushwick Brooklyn combines pop drones over earnest, pulsating melodies. SoftSpot will be hitting up the East Coast this spring, and will stop by the Cameo Gallery on April 6. – Devon Antonetti
