In today’s paradigm of obsessive consumption and waste there at times appears to be little space for genuine human expression.  From this tension rises THE BLACK SOFT, the interdisciplinary duo of Joey Topmiller and Chase Coughlin, whose boundless creative tentacles permeate contemporary cultural expression across music, fashion, performance and fine art.  Since their debut in 2011 they have been heralded as the darlings of the fashion industry, collaborating and composing music for: Vogue, Nike, Diesel, M.A.C. Cosmetics, I-D magazine, Mugler,  and Nicola Formichetti. With their 5th studio album "Terror of the understood” THE BLACK SOFT continue to play and destroy, push and tease the constructed psychic and physical boundaries of the flesh and mind with explorations into identity, sexuality, metaphysics, ritual, and the seemingly endless neuroses of the human condition.
