Despite music that often plumbs harrowing depths that would give cultural tourists and pretenders pause, Soft Kill circa the year of our lord 2024 is at heart a feel-good story.

After hitting the absolute outer boundaries of self-destruction in the early 2000s — and yet still somehow creating albums of timeless beauty like An Open Door and Circle of Trees (to say nothing of Blessure Grave!) — Tobias Grave is now having the time of his life.

He’s clean and sober and a family man, living in Chicago where his band just released potent new EP Roseland and their latest innovative merch drop that includes a hoodie with a subtle nod towards the Peanuts Halloween special.

The live incarnation of Soft Kill has been drastically revamped to focus on the tandem of Grave and Nicole Colbath (electronics) — and sounds great. Soft Kill are on a Florida run with hardcore gloomers Sikm and we humbly suggest you make it to one of these gigs to bask in the good-bad vibes.

8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, Will’s Pub, $20-$25.
