Swiss shoegaze-wave act Sofsky has recently released a new single, "Sleepy Cat". Electric dreaming, sky-gazing, alternative-radio friendly, rolling celestial (new) waves, "Sleepy Cat", is the first single taken from Sofsky's eponymous debut album. The album will be out on 25 March via Seahorse Recordings (CD and digital).
Sofsky is a five-piece combo featuring a lineup of musicians who own extensive past musical experiences. Stefano Chiassai (guitars) and Giona Mattei (bass), used to play with the post-rock band Kovlo, Flavio Calaon (keys) was a member of the duo Shindo, previously of Flanard, and also a soloist; Dimitri A. (drums) is an eclectic figure into radically different music styles, ranging from vintage goth to vintage rock'n'roll, and also a producer for avantgarde Swiss jazz; Nick Poretti (vocals) was a former member of the nu-prog band Plain. Sofsky was born as a unique blend of all those experiences and tastes, shifting comfortably from contemporary sound production to the sonic landscapes of past decades: early Pink Floyd's psychedelia, '80s post-punk (The Smiths, Joy Division), classic shoegaze (Slowdive, MBV), and of course the post-rock influences already heard in Klovo (Mogwai, Sigur Ros).
After releasing three digital singles - now enclosed as the album's bonus tracks - Sofsky recorded seven brand new songs at La Sauna Studio in Varano Borghi (VA), with Luca Martegano and Enrico Mangione taking production and mixing duties. Mastering was in charge of Tony Cousins at Metropolis Studios in London.
This collection of songs is going to impress and charm with its wide soundscapes, an endless garden of sounds and lyrics where thoughts are free to roam, exploring the many facets of emotions and existence, with their myriad of shades between black and white. Sofsky's "Sleepy Cat" awaits you right below. Link
