Description
For Steve Clarke, The Soft Cavalrys self-titled debut album is equally a labour of love, and the first record hes masterminded from start to finish, with invaluable contributions from his wife, Slowdives Rachel Goswell, on co-vocals and spiritual / practical guidance, and Steves brother Michael, who produced the record. The bands music is a particularly British brand of intense cinematic drama. Melodic and timeless, the album lands in the atmospheric dimensions between Pink Floyd, Talk Talk and Mansun. A record radiating midlife crisis but equally enormous elation; a helix of fear and hope, aching for resolution. A record Steve emphasises that he needed to make. The Soft Cavalry is also that rarity: a musical project that began life on an industrial site in Reading. Additionally, the album is a way of rewriting a mans narrative, and proof that relative late bloomers (Steve was in his late thirties when he made the album) can make the record of their dreams.
