The Softies release new single ‘California Highway 99’
Their forthcoming album, The Bed I Made, is scheduled for release on August 23, 2024, via Father/Daughter Records.
The Softies, share another heartfelt single ‘California Highway 99.’ Taken from The Bed I Made, the track follows the harmonious lead single ‘I Said What I Said.’ Accompanied by a playful stop-motion video directed by Katie Marks, ‘California Highway 99’ is about the meaningful relationship Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia created on the road over the years.
On the single, Rose Melberg shares:
“It’s true that a heart can break in the time it takes to drive from one city to the next. So sometimes you just have to keep driving.”
On the video, director Katie Marks shares:
“‘California Highway 99’ was such a delightful video to create. It shows an insight into The Softies’ friendship beyond the music, with the instances in the video reflecting memories they made on the road during their formative years as a band while on tour. Jen’s ‘91 Geo Metro transports them along the way while they journey through the California desert. The main mediums are paper art used for the stop-motion along with the digital backgrounds the final footage is placed in. This video was so much fun! I had a smile on my face the whole process, especially with the little doll on their dashboard.”
Out August 23 via Father/Daughter Records, The Bed I Made will be their first album in 24 years.
