Sophie’s recent showcase at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC earned rave reviews. “From track to track, Sophie whipped her hair, swayed her hips, and jerked her body around as the band struck gold after gold. Her voice ranged from a sensual rasp to a growing melodic boom that commanded the attention of everyone one in the venue” (Stage Buddy). As always, Sophie writes her own music.
Dogs and Men will be released in early 2015.
Says Auster: “The new album is called dogs and men. The title represents the two halves of the album. The subject matter is split in two. Men represent love and heartache and dogs the more surreal and dreamy side of the album. The album was produced by Jared Samuel.
