(
Before we get started, there was another band of Softies that were some late-70's
new wavers from Britain. Info. is
scarce, so help out if you like. In fact, the band I'm about to talk about named themselves after the
crazies.
Kooky!)
After
Rose Melberg disbanded both
Tiger Trap and
Go, Sailor!, she relocated to
Portland and met up with
Jen Sbragia, who worked on
Pretty Face fanzine. They started up the Softies together, and issued their first single, "
Loveseat" on
Slumberland Records. After that, Rose and Jen moved to
K Records (Rose's old label as Tiger Trap and Go!) and issue their debut, "
It's Love." Unsurprisingly, it and all
subsequent efforts are
dreamy,
melodic, and
warm twee-pop. Also an
album by the group.
