Softboiled Eggies were formed in the summer of 2006 in Los Angeles, by multi-instrumentalist Janet Kim and former GoGoGo Airheart guitarist Ben White, along with John Maus and various alumni of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Since then, the band has undergone several line-up changes, settling on the current quartet of Janet and Ben, plus Scott Cornish on drums and Cole Greif-Neil on guitar.
Both firm fixtures on the LA underground scene, Janet is also the self-proclaimed "creative director" of art gallery / label / music school Tiny Creatures, whilst Ben is the founder of underground party club, Part Time Punks.
Softboiled Eggies is Janet's whispering bedroom secret turned fab rock 'n' roll experience. The unassuming, almost-improvised arrangements descend from a dreamlike reverie to evoke the repressed angst encoded in early soul, dub and post-punk singles. Attention to rhythm is steady, while brushed-in watercolor harmonies seem to rest between the beats like feathers on snow.
