“Silent Type” is the lead single from Brighton-based act Soft Sports’ debut EP Elephant. A galloping bass line and suave vocals are nicely accompanied by vibrant guitar lines in the first minute, the vocals and guitar work reminiscent of Television / Tom Verlaine. “I belong to no one, and no one belongs to me,” the vocals relay, nicely reflecting the tonal nonchalance. The track’s mid-point sees a more involved bridge, with flashing guitar lines adding to the climactic feel as the second-minute mark approaches — the “go our separate ways,” hook and concluding guitar solo both excelling, in particular. “Silent Type” is a masterfully produced, confident release from an impressive EP, streaming in full here.
