Soft Kill, In Mirrors, Fearing
Soft Kill’s 2018 album Savior was inspired by a nightmarish experience on the road: While the Portland band was driving through the middle of nowhere, frontman Tobias Grave’s pregnant wife began to bleed out in their tour van. Thankfully they were able to get her to a hospital in time, so she and their newborn survived. The songs on Savior tiptoe around the perimeter of this narrowly avoided tragedy, mirroring the simultaneous anguish and gratitude with combustive post-punk.
