Seth Beck — Soft Heaven
Released from Chicago, Illinois
Dream Pop / Indie Rock / Shoegaze
With Soft Heaven, Chicago-based artist Seth Beck returns with a collection that feels like a hazy conversation between memory and the present moment. It’s a record steeped in dream pop’s shimmer, indie rock’s intimacy, and shoegaze’s enveloping textures — a combination that turns each track into a soft-focus vignette.
The guitars bloom in radiant layers, sometimes chiming, sometimes dissolving into gauzy distortion. Underneath, the rhythm section moves with quiet confidence, anchoring the songs while allowing them to drift skyward. Vocals hover just above the mix, delicate yet assured, carrying lyrics that balance longing with fleeting flashes of light.
Soft Heaven is more than just a set of songs; it’s a mood — a warm, slow-burning atmosphere that invites you to linger. It captures the feeling of looking out at a city bathed in the glow of early evening, where everything feels both familiar and impossibly far away.
Seth Beck’s latest offering proves that his gift lies not only in melody and arrangement, but in creating a space where emotion and sound merge seamlessly. It’s a record to return to when you need to be reminded that beauty often hides in the softest corners.
