Soft Bait Announce Album Release Tour + Unveil Single ‘Plot Points’ ft. Louisa Nicklin

Shifting gears from the post-punk paranoia of student radio hit 'True Stories' to a more crooning balladic mode, Tāmaki Makaurau's Soft Bait prove they've got ideas to burn with smouldering new single ‘Plot Points’, featuring guest vocalist Louisa Nicklin. The gothic lyricism and swaying grooves of 'Plot Points' pave the way for the group's forthcoming self-titled debut album of the same name, ushered into reality on 28th October alongside a three date launch tour — taking Patrick Hickley (Red Sky Blues), Josh Hunter, Ezra Simons (Earth Tongue, Red Sky Blues) and Cameron Mackintosh to Hamilton, Wellington and back their hometown's Whammy Bar. Also on the all-star bill for Flying Nun's end of year wrap party Beautiful Things, hit play on Soft Bait's third official single and catch them touring around Te Ika-a-Māui at the following dates...

“Plot points is a song about a friendship doomed to fail. One has grown and matured while the other lets ego take control using the past as a crotch to excuse negative behaviour and failing to move forward. Even when there is a quick glimmer of progression it is short-lived and history repeats itself played out like a script and one becomes tired of waiting.” — vocalist / guitarist Josh Hunter
