Soft Boy
Always Hungry
Soft Boy is an up-and-coming Belgian band that started off as Xander Hameltons bedroom pop project. He debuted with the homegrown "This Took a Long Time" (a nod to his arduous production process) followed by "This Took an even Longer Time" the next year. With the support of a vibrant group of friends, his music made its way to the stage. After making an impression at the We Are Open festival in early 2023, Soft Boy spent the rest of the year touring across Flanders, honing their live performance. In 2024 they're set to serve up their latest offering, "Always Hungry." Collaborating with sous-chef Niels Hendrix (Fence, Shovels) in the creative kitchen of Fons Records, Soft Boy has cooked up a delightful ten-course menu of power pop songs. Embracing playfulness and humor, Soft Boy combines inspiration from a variety of influences, including the timeless harmonies of the Beach Boys, the avant-garde notes of Velvet Underground, as well as contemporary bands such as Foxygen and Of Montreal.
