when people say they really love "nothing more to say", do they actually mean the song "nothing more to say" or the youtube mashup of "nothing more to say / eeehhh" which i can't seem to find a purchasable mp3 of? (and which sounds different to the individual "nothing more to say" and "eeehhh" tracks?)
― uxorious gazumping (monotony), Wednesday, 6 August 2014 01:26 (nine years ago) link
That mashup was by Sophie, and was meant to be put up for free download on Annie Mac's soundcloud page:https://soundcloud.com/annie-mac-presents/free-music-monday-sophiePersonally I prefer it to either track on their own.
Now a nice repayment would be if someone happened to have a rip of the Just Jam set / "Hey QT" lying around. Apparently it's a collab with A.G. Cook and based on the obvious PC Music influence on these new Sophie tracks a teamup between the two of them should go heavenly.
― Champiness, Wednesday, 6 August 2014 04:52 (nine years ago) link
Personally I prefer it to either track on their own.
So do I, which is why I'm wondering whether that's the track people are talking about when they profess their love for "Nothing More To Say".
It's not just a sandwiching together of the two songs - I think the frequency and bpm is slightly different too.

I'm pretty sure people mean the widely-available original rather than the hard-to-find mashup. The original Nothing More To Say is his best track IMO. Not heard any of the recent ones though.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 August 2014 09:03 (nine years ago) link
I'm pretty sure people mean the widely-available original rather than the hard-to-find mashup
The mashup has nearly 50k plays on youtube / 126k plays on soundcloud and was featured on Pitchfork. If anything I'd say it's the other way around.

belatedly listening to lemonade for the first time. it could actually be really good if it stuck to the hyper-sacharine-delirium-pop segment and got rid of the rest. but otherwise, its just a very weird throwaway. keep thinking there must be a better edit of it somewhere and that this is just a (terrible) teaser. hard is a tiny bit better though the vocals are still on a ting tings level of irritation and it just seems like someone is trying too hard/thinking theyre being hilariously challenging. reminds me a bit of raffertie.

So for those of you who missed it the Boiler Room stream was a lot of fun (excluding the long gaps where setup for the next act took too long and we were stuck with a minimal dj / random shots of the club accompanied by downtempo music). The "Sophie" performance featured some muscular girl up at the decks playing new tunes while the genuine article flitted about dressed as a security guard; the new stuff was pretty great, generally really uptempo (though I suppose he wouldn't unveil the downtempo stuff at a club gig). Also none of them ran under 2 minutes. :)I've excerpted a few of my faves:http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/27521424/file.htmlhttp://www46.zippyshare.com/v/69964662/file.htmlhttp://www55.zippyshare.com/v/9516052/file.html
The QT segment of the show was basically an in-club ad for the "energy elixir" (played over the speakers while she sat on a couch reading a magazine) followed by "Hey QT" - interestingly she seemed to be singing along even though her mic wasn't turned on. I've got that audio too:http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/31601250/file.html

Is the 'Get the the club at 2am / I'm gonna bang loads of men' track one of those? That was incredible.

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!

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.

I knew BIPP from our own poll a few years ago, but that's really the extent of it. This put the loss in a greater context for me.

RIP, only knew her from a few things but I really dug all those things.

I came across this spotify playlist entitled "every SOPHIE produced song on this damn site'
― Fetchboy, Saturday, 30 January 2021 17:43 (three years ago) link
This is so sad. Pretty much my favourite producer of the 10s, and a genuinely exceptional performer.
The show at Heaven from just before the album (of which there are excerpts on Youtube) was thrilling. Not just the spectacle and fierce performance, but the atmosphere in the room was one of sheer joy. What SOPHIE represented for everyone there, in terms of owning their identity, made it such a celebratory night and the mixture of ecstatic pogoing and vogueing triggered by 'Immaterial' was something I'll always remember.
Outside of the playlist Fetchboy just linked, there's an incredible amount of unreleased and leaked material floating around. These are some of my favourites:
Ooh - this pre-dates or is of the same era as Bipp, you can hear the echoes throughout:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKiX91tZv50
Psalms (with fka Twigs) - this was leaked this year though must date from earlier, it was nommed in this year's tracks poll but as it isn't on Spotify I guess most people missed it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sGu4yb_R_o
Banoffee - Count On You - not a leak or unreleased, but I don't think it's widely known that this is a SOPHIE co-production, just a really pretty song and the one I've been listening to most today:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BeBn4mCnP4

Astonishing sounds and delicious melodies, what a bright streak in the heavens, what a beacon. I’m sad for her and sad for us that we missed what’s next, and what’s ten steps down the road. She made pop new for me again.

Oh! It’s THIS SOPHIE. :( I overheard some girls earlier in the supermarket talking about how an artist called Sophie died in an accident and I didn’t connect who they were talking about. This sucks.

We lost SOPHIE way too soon at just 34 years old. Thanks to Eavan McNeil for assembling this 68-song Spotify playlist of every track she produced. RIPP https://t.co/i8zN0Pi7ue pic.twitter.com/kfbr3WwhZi— Zachary Whittenburg (@trailerpilot) January 30, 2021

Maybe it’s the mexican side of me, but if you want to smile remembering SOPHIE check out Vince Staples twitter account for some warm anecdotes of her.

thread of some of SOPHIE’S unreleased gems 💄— SOPHIE UPDATES (@MSMSMSMUPDATES) January 31, 2021
here's a bunch of unreleased tracks & rarities
― ufo, Sunday, 31 January 2021 07:57 (three years ago) link
I had never really understood her music-- just felt like it wasn't my thing. Yesterday I listened to a bunch of her songs, and felt profound grief that I'd somehow missed something before, and that I wouldn't be able to enjoy more in the future. Then, last night, I had a lucid dream where I was a helper to a neuroatypical adult who was trying to communicate with their friend, another neuroatypical adult, through a Plexiglas screen, and the both of them were crying because they couldn't communicate properly, then 'Its Okay to Cry' started playing in the dream and I woke up sobbing.
Something in the air. Horrible news.

Truly horrible news. She was in my dreams last night too.
Those Vince Staples anecdotes were a help. Thanks for the heads up.

Great thoughts Ned, and loved the quote you singled out, the desire "to make the brightest, most intense, engaging thing." It started me thinking who else was doing that and the most obvious answer (apart from AG Cook of course) was Yasutaka Nakata (Perfume, Capsule, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu etc.). Does anyone know if SOPHIE and Nakata interacted? I was thrilled when Autechre did the first ever SOPHIE remix.Also apologies for my use of "her" to refer to the artist upthread, I learned from Philip Sherburne's brilliant p4k piece that SOPHIE disliked both gendered and nonbinary pronouns. https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/remembering-sophies-radical-futurism/

wow, that pic! i was living in Nagoya in 2010 and made to see Capsule play a live show in Osaka back then. so glad i did. i never imagined a SOPHIE - Capsule connection. and i wondered what the hell happened to Capsule... now i know.
thank u Ned for that writing. i'd never seen the video, it made me cry and that's ok :)))
