Softly spoken Sophie Jamieson is as endearing as musicians come. With humble beginnings gigging relentlessly as a shy solo singer-songwriter, her compelling project -- now with the backing of bandmates Liam Hoflay and Alex Bettancourt -- has evolved into an understated three-piece who are finally beginning to make well-deserved waves.
Her atmospheric EP
Where, released in June through Folkroom Records, is brimming with ambient melancholia characterized by haunting reverb, captivating lyrics and a sublime vocal precision that draws chills. Serene and mesmerizing in equal amounts -- much like
Daughter, to whom she is often compared -- this is music to really get lost in.
