OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES is everything i've ever wanted from an electronic record, personally. it feels utilitarian, purposeful but maintains fun and danceable. it's SOPHIE's eyes of the world; sonically it's genderfluid, dysphoric, but encapsulates more -- transhumanism, intrapersonal technology and sexuality... and it remains succinct throughout, never self-indulgent... SOPHIE is the pop star we needed!

IS It Cold In the Water is one of the most gorgeous songs ive ever heard

love how Infatuation takes the vocals from Is It Cold in the Water and backwards masks them into infinity - beautiful pair of songs, the latter builds and never really takes off and the former drops in beats but still feels like it never really drops - a master class in ratcheting up tension

Her show tonight in Vancouver was awesome (albeit way too short). She was playing this ambient track, then all of a sudden it turned into Ponyboy and the crowd just lost their shit over it. An audience member in a unicorn costume came out of nowhere too, which i figured was pretty fitting for the track

can't believe there was a unicorn

doesn't seem like the oil remix album has been mentioned so. more like a techno mix + ambient stretch, mb worth checking out even if (like me) you weren't hot on the original album

It's not what I expected. Autechre have actually made the record sound less strange and maybe more commercial. No shade to the orginal or this (both are excellent) but I don't think I've ever heard AE approach a remix like this.

I like it--already loved the Soh-G, and this one with a de-FXed vocal and slower tempo makes me think even more of '80s Sleeping Bag/Latin Rascals freestyle Γ la Joyce Sims/Nocera, which is def part of the prAemordial soup

unconfirmed but there's screenshots from her friends' Instagrams floating about that make it seem like the worst is true

Very sad news regarding the passing of SOPHIE. I had the opportunity to work with her and the PC music family some years back, in awe of the imagination and rulelessness approach to creating music which is so often full of restraints. She and her creativity will be hugely missed— Nicola Maria Roberts (@NicolaRoberts) January 30, 2021

Her set at Simple Things festival in Bristol back in 2014 blew my mind, incredibly creative producer and gone way too soon - RIP.

rip. i remember hearing bipp for the the first time and being like wtaf; still an amazing giant rubber exclamation point floating in the air. maybe the pop musician whose music seemed best to understand now now now and in any case way too young to go.

I remember when PC Music came on with Beautiful and Like You and I was excited by this new spin to club pop music. That stopped there, I never got into Sophie, and now it's quite strange to think that the few years since then was her career.
