SOPHIE
The late electronic and pop enigma achieved a lot in a tragically short time. As much a sadist as she was a crowdpleaser, and as much a nostalgist as she was a pioneering sound artist. She made her name as a part of the PC Music stable, before attracting the attention of the likes of Vince Staples Charli XCX and Madonna. By turns a creator of sonic art installations or a vendor of sugar confections, SOPHIE was a true one off and a master of the art. James and Graham discuss novelty in music, the pleasures of unpleasant sounds, pop homogenisation and more.
