Soft Kill | Choke | Album

Soft Kill's 2016 album Choke is widely regarded by critics and fans as a pinnacle for the band, marking their transition from raw, claustrophobic gloom to a more melodic and shimmering "post-punk revival" sound. Reviewers from New Noise Magazine and Echoes And Dust describe the album as a "goth masterpiece" that blends '80s post-punk with shoegaze and synth-heavy textures. The record is noted for being "cripplingly dark and solemn," yet "beautiful" and "blissful" at times. It leans heavily into influences like The Chameleons, The Cure, and Joy Division.
