Originally released on CD onyl in 2006 this is the LP-vinyl edition exclusively for RSD 2019. Born in England and growing up between here and Australia she began writing songs at five years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt sixteen, Sophie began writing music for television documentaries and swapping her vocal abilities for free studio time at the EMI studios in Australia. She received various offers from labels, but none which gave her the creative freedom she desired so Sophie politely declined. She was accepted into the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where she studied contemporary composition and orchestration, she’s a classically trained pianist and cellist. At twenty-three Sophie moved to the States and not long after touch down received word that Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse had heard her music and wanted her to join them for their tour with Radiohead. Sophie obliged, and afterwards found herself contributing to Sparklehorse’s albums, \u003ci\u003eGood Morning Spider\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIt’s A Wonderful Life\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter her time with Sparklehorse, Sophie continued pursuing numerous musical avenues until she could afford a move to upstate New York and set up her own studio. After a few false starts, the catalysts for \u003ci\u003eThe Bells of 1 2\u003c\/i\u003e finally materialised into a cohesive vision. As the sole voice and creator behind Sol Seppy, Sophie embraced the roles of writer, performer, engineer and producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album’s celestial romanticism glows in Sophie’s enchanting vocals, reminiscent of Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins, each track a channel to some uncanny territory. S\u003ci\u003elo Fuzz \u003c\/i\u003ebeckons with an affectionately plaintive chorus bubbling over ethereal melody lines. \u003ci\u003eWonderland\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of an artist with the sinking feeling that a change will never come. \u003ci\u003eCome Running\u003c\/i\u003e is a curious ode to companionship. \u003ci\u003eEnter 2 Human\u003c\/i\u003e plays out as one of the most heartrending incitements in recent years. Each song is more than enough to get lost in. This enchanting album is prismatic by nature, “It’s the discovery of beauty that inspires me the most,” she says, clandestinely hinting at an endless impetus for the songs of Sol Seppy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gronland","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50448939254091,"sku":"1056862","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9fefebad-362f-4edb-ba3c-07577732eb76_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727097471","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-bells-of-1-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
