Soft Loft

Zurich-based quintet Soft Loft return with their sumptuous second album, Throw The Dice. Written as vocalist Jorina Stamm headed towards 30, the record balances the band’s bright and brilliant musical ambition with the relatable lyrical focus of life at a turning point. "I'm waiting for the moment when life will all add up and make sense, but I don't know if we ever really get there," she says. Their ambitions have always been far bigger than just staying in Switzerland. They set out their MO from the off: to aim high and dream big with everything they create. Their 2024 debut, The Party And The Mess, was made with Grammy-nominated producer Gianluca Buccellati (Lana Del Rey, Arlo Parks, The Marías) — a partnership that opened doors both practically and mentally. Throw The Dice builds on that foundation, recorded with LA-based engineer Sean Cook and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Florence + The Machine). Soft Loft’s second delivers a delicious mix of instinctiveness and freedom, but also a grand sense of musicality. Influenced by open-hearted songwriters like Big Thief, Sam Fender, Sharon Van Etten and Lizzy McAlpine. Throw The Dice moves between widescreen anthems and stripped-back moments. It is a tribute to self-acceptance and following your heart, made by five friends who’ve worked hard to reach for their dreams.
