95bFM Album of the Week: The Sophs - 'GOLDSTAR'
Everyone loves a little sticker that says ‘you’ve done a good job’, so LA band The Sophs made a whole album about it! It’s called GOLDSTAR and they are putting it out into the world this Friday.
The Sophs see song creation like pop art: they’re focused on the idea of reproducing something over and over again until it's meaningless. “I want to steal and plagiarize and borrow,” Ramon explains. The record asks, where’s my gold star? Where’s my validation? Why am I not being rewarded for how much of a good person I am? Am I doing mitzvahs for the right reason? The titular track — which kicks off with flamenco-style fingerpicking — wrestles with the philosophy of really being good and what that looks like.
Goldstar is out Friday March 13 and available where all good music is found.
