The Musgraves
If there were ever a soundtrack for walking through a park on summer’s day, So Sofia by The Musgraves would surely be a strong contender.
Taken from their upcoming debut EP Lost in Familiarity, So Sofia breathes a new precedent of integrity into the roots-pop genre.
So Sofia is a charming little folk-pop tune sprung loaded with hand claps, backing shouts and a cheery melody that can’t help but provoke a good mood vibe.
The song gleans influence from the 50’s and 60’s pop scene with claim to the likes of The Crystals, The Ronettes and The Beach Boys. This roots-pop chirpiness is then given its folk twist stemming from inspirations of English and American folk blues with the use of banjos, mandolins and fiddles.
Recently signed to Imagem Music, the world’s largest independent music publisher and home to such talent as Temper Trap, Vampire Weekend and Phil Collins, this charming quartet are set for a busy 2011.
