After more than a decade of making music together, twin siblings Phoenix and Mercedes Arn-Horn seized the opportunity to explore something new and different, not knowing where the road would lead them. Driven by the upheaval that seemed to dominate the bulk of 2020, including the mobilization of the Black Lives Matter movement that resulted from the killing of George Floyd, as well as the social and financial inequality exacerbated by the pandemic, the siblings found themselves channeling their frustration with the world at large into the music they were creating. Seamlessly combining grunge, shoegaze, dreampop, and punk into their music with a message, Softcult has quickly become the band inspiring a new Riot Grrrl movement for the digital age. Check out Softcult on Audiotree Live!
Recorded live on March 25, 2023 in Chicago, IL.

That guitar tone is just 😳🔥
Yeeeeee you must record too cause that is exactly what I was thinking
Which one? Both, for me :-)
Was literally just thinking how good this is 😂
@@rotten77 both are stellar, the rhythm is so deep i thought it was a baritone at first
Hard to nail the delicate, soft yet powerful sound. Absolutely stellar sounds all around on this one
Seriously one of the best bands out there. They sound so good live. Phoenix and Mercedes are absolutely the real deal. Extremely talented and so true to themselves and their convictions.
And damn.... that room sounds GREAT on the drums. I think the fact that they aren't using loud guitar amps in the room (direct amp simulators, if I recall, though I do see amps mic'd up), the drums sound so killer. Everything sounds killer! Rick and Neil did a fantastic mix, but you guys had great stuff to work with!
why does spotify call them a grunge duo? this is like dream pop or nu gaze. did they change their style. they popped up on my suggestions. ive loved audiotree for a long time. great bands and great interviewers.
@@miked4309 This is why I kind of stopped caring about "genre-fying" music, because in some cases, it's really subjective and in other cases, like you point out, it's totally wrong!
The one sliver of a reason, though, I would say is because, and Mercedes even said this to me, they half-jokingly think of the current sound as being an inspired amalgam of the two bands that their managers (I'm actually not 100% sure what their roles really are) were in, in the 90s. One being a shoegaze/dream pop band, An April March, the other being a more alternative/grunge band, Scratching Post. That was more of a tongue-in-cheek comment, though.
Check out their previous project, Courage My Love, which was also pretty great, albeit with a slightly less dark, more mainstream vibe.
Honestly, they are such incredible musicians and songwriters and genuinely great people. The whole touring band is pretty awesome!
@@miked4309 If you aren't familiar with An April March, check them out. Not to be confused with just April March, who is very different, but also cool. AAM and my band were kind of like sister bands from the US and Canada and played a lot of shows together. Great 90s dreampopgaze. Ha!
@@rodgre i totally agree about genres. i really dislike them. i love Poppy and its impossible to define her. she calls her music post genre. sorry, Spotify says they are goth.. i forget where i saw grunge. although the boys will be boys sounds more like alternative rock/grunge. cool indie bands today have a bit of everything. i think all their parents have a 90s CD collection. i clicked on this video b/c the blonde looks like the member in Momma. also 2 females and sound like this. shoegaze and alt rock vibes. before the pandemic i was going to about 35 shows a year. putting on a lot of miles. i loved meeting and talking to the bands. i think the coolest experience was meeting and talking to Alicia Bognano aka Bully.

I freaking LOVE softcult. I'm excited to watch this when it drops.
There music has so much substance and is so relatable.💯
Great melodies by the dude playin guitar. fantastic notes !
totally, dude's really talented
Phoenix's drums (and drumming) sound fantastic in this. Props to Audiotree for the great sound. The Chelsea Wolfe show that was on here a few years ago sounded absolutely bombastic too...these sound guys really doing a great job.
Found these guys on Spotify 2 years ago, great band. Lovely blend of Pop & Shoegaze
Drain has gotta be one of my all time favorite softcult songs, that and Uzumaki
Audiotree introduced me to Emma Ruth Rundle like six or seven years ago, so i will always owe them. And this band, man... it's something about them! raw talent n stuff!
Audiotree introduced me to ERR like a couple of months ago, and somehow Softcult got on my radar also. So nice to hear their set.
@@GrackAlaciN oh hell yess :)
I've been a fan since the Courage My Love days. Glad they're still kickin' out the jams 🤘
Same. Loved CML, love Softcult. Still young but seems they've been around for a very long time.
@@surfpsych yeah! Probably because they've been doing it since they were 15 😂
Gotta respect it.
I can’t overhear the cocteau vipes - and it is good. Great to hear this kind of beautiful music today… Thanks
Keeping coming back to this live performance. They’re all
So good
Rita, thank you thank you thank you for bringing on these bands, along with your crew and those at Audiotree. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Softcult is magical.
There’s literally not one song by them that isn’t good. I love softcult so much💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯
You killed it. One of two of my fav bands of 2023. The other is momma, another BA female- led band. Thanks Audiotree for introducing us to great music!
@softcult, please come back to San Diego!
this pairs so well with Momma! would be cool for those two acts to do a tour together
Love their sound!!
amazing to see this band continue to grow and get noticed.
Wow, I've been hooked on this band for months now and fell in love with the music and visual aesthetic! I love the message they send, and I will follow forever! As I'm from Brazil I can't watch the concerts but this stream gave me a taste of how perfect they are live! Thanks!

UGH I LOVE SOFTCULT SO MUCH
Teenage Wrist brought me here.
Final third of Still Love is the best part of the entire album of theirs.

Been looking forward to this! I love Softcult's sound so much. Awesome set :) Audiotree's mixing and sound quality blows my mind every time, too. Thanks so much to everyone involved for making this happen. Much love from New Zealand!
I totally feel this, I just remember how amazing was discover their songs, such a fantastic and powerful that reminds me of my days at college!!!
Discovered this band in Anaheim when they toured alongside the Movements, Heart to Gold, and Mannequin Pussy tour and it was like magic watching them perform. Went home and binge listened to their entire discography. Im now a fan and so excited to see them live again! Never stop speaking your truth, Phoenix and Mercedes! ❤
FINALLY! Softcult is on Audiotree. Yes yes yes!
