Following inventor Lomond Campbell yesterday, another musical pioneer from Scotland of a different kind – two tracks by the extraordinary genre-pushing electronic trans artist who tragically died last month. Sophie Zeon, born in Glasgow in 1986, is best known for her abrupt, arrhythmic mixes, sampling and strange abrupt array of new sounds and unique editing style, the musician, record producer, singer, songwriter was certainly one of a kind. Her work sounds like it is crashing and banging to our ears straight from the future. She had also worked extensively with other acts including produced for acts such as Charli XCX, Vince Staples, Kim Petras, Madonna, Let's Eat Grandma, and Namie Amuro. UNISIL was re-released just two days before her accidental death from a fall in Athens on 30th January 2021. Faceshopping was released in 2018, part of SOPHIE’s genre-pushing album Oil Of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides, which is also shown below in the embedded Spotify link. Earlier tracks such as Bipp, are also worth exploring. SOPHIE was a true original, pushing the boundaries of electronica, and someone whose undoubled future innovations means her death is also a huge loss for music in general.
