So Soon - Whether You Like It Or Not (2024) Hi Res

So Soon, formed by multi-instrumentalists, songwriters and producers David Stöbener and Marco Braun, create music that carries tremendous size and strength despite an impressionistic approach to sound design and storytelling. Indie pop and folk merge with electronica and post-rock to create a moving entity.

So Soon have not only been friends since their youth, they have also been making music together for years and have invested in their art. You can hear that in their compositions and production: multi-layered songwriting, precise vocals, impressive sound and tremendous playing quality combine to create a magical whole. The people involved in the production also play their part and make Whether You Like It Or Not a pleasure to listen to.

The album was mixed by Barny Barnicott, one of the UK's leading mixers and producers, who has worked with artists from Kasabian to Sam Fender. In Barny's diverse catalog, the Arctic Monkeys' debut album and "Confessions" by The Temper Trap are just selected highlights. The mastering was done by Matt Colton, who has already refined releases by Muse, James Blake, Thom Yorke, Aphex Twin and Depeche Mode.

As spectacular is the sound, so deep are the stories. The topics of the songs include autobiographical snapshots, growing up in a world that offers a lot but also demands much, misty hope, and floating melancholy.
