The Soft Pink Truth Announces New Album, Shares New Song “Wanna Know”: Listen

Drew Daniel has announced the new Soft Pink Truth album Is It Going to Get Any Deeper Than This?, which comes out on October 21 via Thrill Jockey. The new album’s lead single, “Wanna Know,” features guest vocals from Jenn Wasner (of Wye Oak and Flock of Dimes). Additional contributors to the new LP include Daniel’s Matmos bandmate M.C. Schmidt, saxophonist Andrew Bernstein, and vocalist Angel Deradoorian. Take a listen to “Wanna Know” below.

In a press release, Drew Daniel explained the genesis of his new album’s title:

Years ago, a friend was DJing in a club and a woman came into the DJ booth and asked, “Is it going to get any deeper than this?” and the phrase became a kind of mantra for us. What did she really want? This album was created as an attempt to imagine possible musical responses to her question.

On August 19, Daniel will release a new EP called Was It Ever Real? (via Thrill Jockey). Both the EP and the LP follow the Soft Pink Truth’s 2020 full-length Shall We Go On Sinning So That Grace May Increase?, as well as Matmos’ recent record Regards/Ukłony dla Bogusław Schaeffer.
