December 2, 2020Glitched-out electronics and crunchy guitar riffs meet melodic vocal harmonies on Soul Extract’s brand new single, "Lacuna." This midtempo thumper reveals a perfectly patient songwriting style that ebbs and flows, building tension across its running time to hit listeners with increasingly powerful sonic blasts. "Lacuna" continues the build-up to Soul Extract’s next full-length album and is out now on all platforms from independent electronic rock label FiXT. -
August 17, 2020Soul Extract’s "Specter" was a hit with fans when it was released earlier this year. Now, Sebastian Komor puts his own unique spin on the track with this powerful remix. By blending the track’s symphonic elements with thunderous percussion and intricate electronic effects, Komor has created a song that feels massive and dangerous, capable of striking at any time.
Cerebral. Beautiful. Violent. Soul Extract taps into a wealth of human emotions and experiences to generate a listening space that is as intense and unpredictable as life itself. The highly personal inspiration for Soul Extract’s creations gives every song an invigorating level of creative clarity, and the artist’s willingness to smash through genre barriers puts him at the forefront of modern music.
Although Soul Extract’s stylistic approach fits within the broad scope of electronic rock, labels can’t begin to describe the exploratory, borderline progressive nature of the songs themselves. Josh Mullis, the architect behind Soul Extract’s elaborate compositions, brings a deconstructive mindset to his craft, tearing apart genres and fusing their most compelling elements back together to build calculated and highly detailed tracks.
This analytical approach to Soul Extract began to take shape in 2013, and after years spent synthesizing the sounds of metal, electronic, and orchestral music, the artist unleashed his fiery debut album, Circadian Algorithm. Loaded wall-to-wall with emotive vocals and explosive instrumental sections, the album has laid the foundation for a developing career with an upward trajectory.
Mullis’ passion for music began at a young age, and he has traditionally pulled from deeply personal events for his creative stimulus. Finding escape from a family struggles by picking up a guitar as a teenager, Mullis discovered those early creative efforts were able to carry him through unpredictable times. As an adult, a motivating force for his music rests within humanitarian endeavors, as Mullis donates proceeds from Soul Extract to New Day Foster Home (http://www.newdayfosterhome.com), a charity that supported the health of his adopted daughter at an early age.
For Mullis, music is an indescribable force capable of sparking intense emotion, and this force is the essence of an artist in its purest form. As the project name suggests, Soul Extract is Josh Mullis’ unaltered expression of himself, and his passionate approach to songwriting shines through on every track he produces.
