‘Erode’ EP out now on @prestorecords
Following her debut album Horseshoe released on Presto!? in 2024, Soft Cou is now coming out with a second, even more evocative release, where she mixes experimental glitch together with pitch dark atmospheric moments, IDM and spoken word. Her work intertwines manipulation of samples, synth crafting, digital processing and a vulnerable yet bold vocal approach, whispering in your ear and reverberating in your chest.
Erode is a six-track EP where Soft Cou explores the process of erosion as both destructive and transformative. Erode unfolds from her inner worlds, probing the pull between mythological stories and stories of her own. She finds herself suspended in a state of tension, belonging in vastly different scenes all at once. Reminiscent and teeth-gritting, an ode to survival.
We are glad to present ‘Erode’ Soft Cou’s new EP and second release on Presto!?.

Excited to announce my EP ‘Erode’ is set to be released on @prestorecords on the 15th of May 2026.
Over the past year while working on my second up and coming album, these tracks fell together into a world of their own and that world is what became ‘Erode’.
Can’t wait to share this one with you <3

Soft Cou mix for @etherealgrooves is available to listen if you haven’t checked it out already. Link in bio.
This mix takes you into an ambient, poetic 45 minute dream. I often write with ambient music as my guide—moving me when I can’t quite move myself. Entering a dream space between the words of great writers and the music of others. This mix traces the journey through the conflicts of creation, with all its mighty interferences and seductive charm.
