Edmonton, AB-based indie duo Softklub (Keenan Gregory and Mark Wojcicki) share their debut EP Give Me More, released alongside its emotionally charged title track. Blending melancholic indie rock with cathartic release, layered instrumentation, and deeply introspective songwriting, the EP’s five songs capture the complicated emotional terrain of longing, self-reflection, insecurity, and memory.

“This selection of songs feels more tightly knit to each other than anything else we’ve written,” Keenan explains. “Not only do their themes bleed into one another, but multiple songs share a narrative from the same moment in my life.”

Recorded across hotel rooms, Airbnbs, home studios, rehearsal spaces, and professional studios over the course of several years, Give Me More reflects both emotional and artistic evolution. The duo collaborated with a range of musicians to expand the project’s sonic palette.

At the heart of the EP is its soaring and emotionally exposed title track “Give Me More,” rooted in yearning, appetency, and unresolved attachment. “A lifetime supply of yearning, mixed with some unrequited love and a fixated obsession of the past,” Keenan says of the song’s inspiration.

What began as an instrumental demo during the isolation of COVID unexpectedly became the foundation for Softklub itself. Mark originally created the track while considering rebooting an old band and sent it to Keenan with the intention of adding piano. Instead, Keenan surprised Mark with vocals.

“I had never heard him sing, but it was exactly the vibe I wanted,” Mark recalls. “We continued writing together with zero expectations or even thinking about releasing anything. All of a sudden we realized we had 30+ songs we really enjoyed.”

Sonically, “Give Me More” embraces experimentation while remaining emotionally cohesive. Inspired by seeing The National perform with multiple drummers and expansive arrangements, Mark built the song around layered percussion, stacked guitars, synth textures, and immersive production choices designed to reward repeated listens.
