Experimental musician Claire Rousay and visual artist Dani Toral have been in each others' orbit since young adulthood in San Antonio, but it took a decade for them to find A Softer Focus. Before Rousay had put her compositional gray matter to task for the album's music, she knew she wanted to work with Toral- being familiar with her past work centering her Mexican heritage. Toral's vibrant color palette and reinterpretations of comfort in oneself and the natural, vegetative world connected easily with her explorations in communication and intimacy. Historically, Rousay primarily operated in non-melodic experimental music, sculpting compositions from obsessive field recordings, inserting voice-to-text, percussion played via text message sounds, conversations, and daily life. By contrast, the six-song collection and collaborative project A Softer Focus is lush and almost entirely melodic, even veering into pop at a couple points.1 Preston Ave2 Discrete (the Market)3 Peak Chroma4 Diluted Dreams5 Stoned Gesture6 A Kind Of Promise
