The Sophs have released a personal new single, 'Death in the Family'
LA band The Sophs release vulnerable new track about shame and grief, following their recent signing to Rough Trade Records.
The Sophs have shared their new single 'DEATH IN THE FAMILY', accompanied by a music video. The release follows their signing to Rough Trade Records in May, when they unveiled their debut track 'SWEAT'.
The Los Angeles six-piece outfit caught the attention of Rough Trade label heads Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee through their initial demos. "It's rare that a demo that arrives in the post sets your heart racing and sends you off on a quest to track down its sender. But that's what happened when we listened to the music sent to us by Ethan Ramon," Travis and Lee explain.
Frontman Ethan Ramon discusses the personal nature of the new track, saying, "It's one of the most personal songs I've ever written. It confronts my complicated relationship with shame, and how, at a certain point, I had convinced myself I'd rather grieve a loved one than take any kind of accountability. Releasing it almost feels like purging those thoughts. Maybe it's because I finally feel like I'm explaining myself clearly. Maybe I feel protected by my vulnerability. All I know is it means something to me."
