The four members of Brooklyn post-punk outfit Pill — vocalist/bassist Veronica Torres, drummer Andrew Spaulding, saxophonist Benjamin Jaffe, and guitarist Jon Campolo —exchanged sounds before words. Jaffe walked into their very first practice session playing saxophone, prompting Campolo to respond on guitar. “So our first sentences were musical,” recalled Jaffe. “That’s still arguably the best way we understand each other.”

Pill’s second full-length album for Mexican Summer is Soft Hell, a raucous, splintering dispatch from New York City that carries forward the free-associative ensemble feel of their earliest encounter. It’s animated by the madcap ingenuity of a foursome finding a sense of joy and play in expressions of caustic, black humor and incisive critique — a delicate balance of levity and severity they’ve been honing since their 2015 debut on Parquet Courts bandleader Andrew Savage’s label Dull Tools.
