They are set to release their second album, Soft Action, via Big Scary Monsters (American Football, Cursive, The Get Up Kids, Meat Wave), in December 2022. Inhabiting a host of different narrators, some more savoury than others, Soft Action picks up where debut album Big Twenty left off. This time, however, the tone is a whole lot less celebratory, honing in on what happens when people and systems are unable and unwilling to change. The album is 14 stories from 14 different points of view, all chained to whatever ideology most suits them at the time. Some are vying for ascendancy, some are skulking around in the background but ultimately no one is really trying that hard. ‘Soft Action’ Soft Action finds Other Half distilling the sneering post-punk and sardonic storytelling that characterised their first album, whilst amplifying both the most melodic and dissonant parts of their sound. The discordant squall of Sonic Youth, the ragged hooks of Pixies and the searing intensity of bands like Converge, all underpinned with the barbed vocal interplay of singers Cal and Sophie. ==== Artist Other Half Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Big Scary Monsters Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Like a Dog Doom Logo Who's Got Guts Jollies with the Boys Slab Thick Every Future Planetary Feeling In My Wires Ugly Reunion Grisly Visions Just a Holiday If You Write the Way You Talk Losing the Whip All Bets Are Off Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Broadside Paradise Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Victory | 1LP Released 16th June 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Broadside Paradise £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Victory SKU: VR740-LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robocobra Quartet Living Isn’t Easy Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | First Taste Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th June 2022 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Robocobra Quartet Living Isn’t Easy £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: First Taste Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th June 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Addicts, The Smart Alex Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Let Them Eat Vinyl | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th May 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Addicts, The Smart Alex £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Let Them Eat Vinyl SKU: LETV127LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jen Cloher I Am The River, The River Is Me Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Marathon Via Fuga | 1LP Released 31st March 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jen Cloher I Am The River, The River Is Me £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Marathon Via Fuga SKU: MA0380LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Guided By Voices Nowhere To Go But Up Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Guided By Voices, Inc. | 1LP Released 24th November 2023 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Guided By Voices Nowhere To Go But Up £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Guided By Voices, Inc.
