By the 1995 release of It’s Love, the Softies had recorded 16 songs spread over three slabs of vinyl — a period of trial and error that concluded with the masterful new album. Production-wise, the band finally struck a balance between soggy midrange and dry-heaving treble, developing a clean, clear sound with just enough bite. The pair’s guitars are panned wider, leaving Sbragia’s lead lines to linger as a third voice as the duo’s human vocals take center stage. With no drums or bass to intrude, songs such as “Hello Rain” and “Until You Tell” are pure melody and harmony, as soft and comforting as a cashmere blanket.

And this one, a discussion of It’s Love — the band’s first great record.
