An underground stoner rock act.
SoftSun was formed in 2023 by guitarist Gary Arce (Yawning Man) and bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen (PIA ISA). Their second album comes out on Heavy Psych Sounds Record Nov 7 2025 with Robert Garson on drums. The band is experimenting with sounds and are difficult to place in a specific genre. They have a style of their own with contrasts of softness and distortion, beauty and noise and emotional peaks and valleys. The music is patient, heavy and dreamy, with haunting vocals and beautiful guitars drenched in distortion and reverb over patient and thought out drums. The songs are flowing slowly and take inspiration from both the Californian desert landscapes to the Norwegian oceans where the two founding members come from. On the second record SoftSun has developed their sound further and sound both moody, experimental, beautiful, and raw. SoftSun is touring Europe with Yawning Man November-December 2025.
SoftSun plays a hypnotic blend of dronegaze, stoner rock, and psychedelic metal characterized by heavy guitar distortion, atmospheric reverb, and haunting vocals.

Their live performances deliver a patient, heavy wall of sound that contrasts dreamy atmospheres with crushing guitar distortion.
