The Soft Pink Truth is an experimental house music side-project from Drew Daniel, one-half of experimental electronica duo Matmos. It is rumoured that Daniel started the project on a dare that he couldn't produce a house record. Do You Party?, the first album from The Soft Pink Truth, was released in 2003, and featured, among other original songs, a cover of Vanity 6's Make up.

In 2004, Daniel followed up with The Soft Pink Truth's sophomore album, entitled Do You Want New Wave (Or Do You Want The Soft Pink Truth?) (irreverently abbreviated to DYWNWODYWTSPT), a reference to a song by Minutemen. The album consisted entirely of house covers of classic hardcore and punk songs.

The Soft Pink Truth also has recorded a slew of remixes, including one for Björk's single "It's in Our Hands".

As of 2005, The Soft Pink Truth is still touring and DJing around the San Francisco Bay Area.
