CMJ Preview: The Secret Life Of Sofia
The Secret Life Of Sofia is a band we’ve been following since its inception. They started out strong and have only gotten better over the short two to three years of their existence. Anyone who happened to see them, say, a year or two ago, then again in just the last few months may have noticed a slight shift in direction. Through use of acoustic guitars, strings, keys, and added percussion, the band has managed to add quite a lot of texture to what was already quite a layered sound. Relatively soon, you’ll be able to hear evidence of this on the band’s first full-length album, which they’ve been working on diligently for quite some time now. In the meantime, you can hear four preview tracks — unfinished and unmastered mixes — from the album at the band’s MySpace page. Along with a new and slightly more up tempo version of “Diamond Face” (previously featured on the band’s self-titled EP), are three new ones: “Crowley,” “Outside,” and “Seven Summits.”
The Secret Life Of Sofia will be playing at the StereoactiveNYC/Hot Rocks Party Official CMJ Showcase on Saturday, October 20th at The Delancey in NYC. The event is co-sponsored by DigitalFreedom.org.
Here are a couple of videos we shot of the band back in May:
