DESCRIPTION:DARKSOFT\n\nDarksoft is a songwriter and producer who creates d
	reamy indie rock rooted in\ndream pop and shoegaze traditions. DIY and sel
	f-produced\, Darksoft songs blend\nlush melodic progressions\, 80s/90s alt
	ernative rock undertones\, and understated\nvocals. All parts are written 
	and recorded by hand in a home studio in Maine\nusing real instruments — i
	ncluding drums\, guitars\, bass\, percussion\, and\noutboard synthesizers.
