Soft Play hit the gym for heavy new single ‘Mirror Muscles’

British rock duo Soft Play has released their first track of the year, called “Mirror Muscles,” which showcases their heavy guitar riffs and pulsing drumbeat. In the chorus, singer Isaac Holman asks “See these buttons bursting out of my sleeves?” as he sings about bodybuilding becoming a national trend. The song was described in a press release as a wryly comic observation that arose from the band’s experience working out in a local gymnasium.

“Mirror Muscles” follows their previous single, “Punk’s Dead,” which was released in 2023 and featured Robbie Williams. Soft Play expressed on a BBC Radio 1 interview that Williams was a fan of the band and wanted to collaborate in some way. The duo also plans to release their fourth album later this year.

Soft Play’s previous full-length release was “Acts of Fear and Love,” which received a four-star review from NME and was praised for its potential to propel the band into the upper echelons of the live music landscape. The band is set to perform at several upcoming music festivals, including The Great Escape, Tramlines, Truck Festival, Y NOT?, and Boardmasters.

Overall, Soft Play’s humor-infused lyrics and heavy rock sound are sure to excite fans, and their upcoming album release is eagerly anticipated
