Soft Hair are Connan Mockasin and Sam Dust (LA PRIEST / Late of The Pier). The album's recording took place over five years around the pair's solo careers and outside lives. After the dispersion of Late of the Pier, whom Connan supported on tour in 2009 (the first time the two met), Sam traveled in the far east, Africa, Europe and elsewhere, spending time inventing his own instruments, producing and directing. Eventually re-emerging as LA PRIEST in 2015 with debut solo album Inji. Connan meanwhile released the albums Forever Dolphin Love and Caramel and toured the world extensively, working with artists such as James Blake, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Vince Staples. The songs on this album were written and recorded in a wide array of locations using methods that neither Mockasin nor Dust had used previously. As a result, the record gives the listener a view into an exotic world with a blend of familiar, unfamiliar and unconventionally attractive sounds.
