Soft Black


Soft Black is a Brooklyn-based band fronted by Vincent Cacchione. Much of Soft Black's lyrical content deals with Cacchione's dreams and nightmares. The band's sound was described as "a kind of bizarro-world Neil Young," as well as " against the grain of ’s more fashionable musical styles".

History

The band's latest release, the EP We Scatter Light, was released in 2011.
Frontman Cacchione also is a member of the band Caged Animals, along with his wife Magali Francoise and sister Talya Cacchione, and has performed with Shilpa Ray.
