The Softies were a musical duo consisting of Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia, who are known for their minimal approach to pop music. Beginning in 1994, the band was intended to be a side project for both artists. Along with an eventual career as a solo artist, Rose Melberg performed with Tiger Trap, Gaze, and Go Sailor. Jen Sbragia was known for her work with the band Pretty Face.

The Softies refers to two bands: (1) The Softies were Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia, who both sang and played guitar. They recorded somewhat-wistful love songs mostly consisting of nothing but their two voices and gently intertwining electric guitars. Rose Melberg was in twee bands Tiger Trap, Gaze and Go Sailor; Jen Sbragia was in Pretty Face and is also in All Girl Summer Fun Band.

This first Softies collection (considered an EP, yet plays and satisfies as a full length) follows their debut Loveseat 7" and precedes the classic LP trilogy of It's Love, Winter Pageant, and Holiday In Rhode Island - all written and performed by the smashingly paired Rose Melberg and Jennifer Sbragia. The Softies captured lightning in a bottle on this first record, and while they seldom deviated from their standard es arrangements on subsequent releases, the magic of these eight songs is unmatched by any others in their discography. No Softies (or Rose Melberg).

The Softies is fully stripped down until only a couple strummed electric guitars remain, but it is not a folk album. The EP is straight melancholy pop taken to its most bare-boned plaintiveness; for all its sadness, though, the music is never sullen, never anything less than luscious and childlike, and, if the word can possibly apply to such minimalistic music, it has a lushness that makes it cushiony and plush, and softens, as it turns out, the lyrical blows.

Talk about The Softies - The Softies


Dream
Perfect, or as close to it as a record can be. This first Softies collection (considered an EP, yet plays and satisfies as a full length) follows their debut Loveseat 7" and precedes the classic LP trilogy of It's Love, Winter Pageant, and Holiday In Rhode Island - all written and performed by the smashingly paired Rose Melberg and Jennifer Sbragia. The Softies captured lightning in a bottle on this first record, and while they seldom deviated from their standard two-guitars/two-voices arrangements on subsequent releases, the magic of these eight songs is unmatched by any others in their discography. No Softies (or Rose Melberg) collection is complete without this self-titled record. Play it again and again.
