Following up the surprise critical hit that was Soft-Bodied Humans’ debut EP - Kaiju Kitala, a collaboration with Ugandan MC Swordman Kitala - is the next instalment in the 'kaiju' series. Like Kaiju Kitala, the new EP - Silver Kaiju, a collaboration with art-pop auteur Silver Pyre - uses samples from vintage Japanese monster movies as the building blocks of a sort of abrasive, psychedelic not-quite grime. Silver Pyre sounds like a post-punk seer, propelled by sub-bass explosions and riding crests of synths, cruising through a cosmos of his own imagination and reporting in detail on the myriad truths he’s uncovered there. In this universe, nothing moves quite like it’s supposed to. Monsters might be real. They might be us. Praise for Soft-Bodied Humans “Samples of Japanese monster films and unmatchable lyrical prowess accompany infectiously energetic instrumentals.” – The Wire “****-the-club up mid-00s grime riffs and late-00s dubstep kickdrums that gobble up all the air in the room” – The Quietus “Just like the kaiju that inspired them, these beats clang and scrape when they don’t rock the earth beneath their feet, blazing like towering infernos at the mercy of the gigantic beasts whose presence is clear in the snippets of newsreel that occasionally force their way through the maelstrom.” – Underscore Magazine “Wonky, acerbic, bass-heavy hip-hop” – Pan African Music “Kaiju Kitala is an impactful take on the 00s UK grime and bass sound which allows Swordman Kitala to introduce his flexing, argumentative flow in an appropriately gritty way. The splashy, fleshy, and full-body production, which partially lends Kitala his strength on this release, was bred and released by the capable bass-demon tamer Soft-Bodied Humans.” – I Thought I Heard A Sound
