Dead Kids, R.I.P. City (2020) is widely regarded as a high-water mark for Soft Kill, shifting their sound from pure darkwave into a more expansive, guitar-driven brand of "doom pop". Released via Cercle Social Records, the album reached #1 on the Billboard Alternative New Artist Chart. Critics and fans alike describe the record as a "controlled burn" that balances somber hooks with catchy, sometimes even upbeat, rhythms. The album draws heavy comparisons to mid-80s era The Cure, featuring lush production, echoing vocals, and icy instrumentation.
