The album arrives on a limited dark blue vinyl LP and on CD in a jewel box with booklet, alongside digital and streaming formats.
Soft Vein bring a sound that mixes synthpop and sophisti-pop, with lush synthesizers, sparkling guitars and melodic vocals set against themes of nostalgia, romance, homesickness, personal growth and change. “All We’ve Known of Heaven” is co-produced by Soft Vein and Andrea Mantione of Nuovo Testamento, mixed by Chamberlain himself, and mastered by Jason Corbett of ACTORS at Jacknife Sound in Vancouver. Saxophonist Rachel Mazer guests on two tracks. The eight-track album runs “Another Summer,” “Chekhov,” “Learning to Talk,” “Proof of Life,” “White Towers (White Shores),” “Forgetting You,” “Living in Liminal Spaces” and the title track, “All We’ve Known of Heaven.”

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
