Observations on the human condition from a passionately detached narrator. Soft Vein, the California-based electronic project of songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Justin Chamberlain, blends elements of synthpop, electropop and darkwave with the aim to embrace duality, creating a sound equally inspired by romance and cynicism, by nostalgia and modernity, by the warm ache of love, desire and yearning - and the cold reality of longing, loneliness and loss.

Known for his energetic, emotionally captivating live performances, Soft Vein’s ongoing tours across North America, Europe, and the UK have included key appearances at festivals like Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Grauzone Festival, Cold Hearted Fest (Dresden/Bochum), Cold Waves Chicago, Substance LA and more. As Germany’s Reflections of Darkness puts it: "Soft Vein’s ability to make the stage feel dynamic and alive is a testament to his skill as both a performer and a storyteller."

After stepping onto the LA darkwave scene in 2023 with his gloomy debut album Pressed in Glass, Soft Vein further developed his sound with the 2024 sophomore release Through Blinds, an addictive blend of dancefloor drone and yearning melancholy. In 2025 he released From Another Room, an EP of remixes by contemporaries like Twin Tribes and Qual, alongside covers of some of his influences.

In 2026 Soft Vein moved toward synthpop with two singles: the sophisti-pop sparkle of "Chekhov" and the existential new-wave of "All We’ve Known of Heaven," both slated to appear on his forthcoming third album set for release in late 2026 via Artoffact Records.
