The Sophs have dropped their new track ‘SWEETIEPIE’ ahead of debut album ‘GOLDSTAR’

Los Angeles-based band The Sophs have released a new song and video titled ‘SWEETIEPIE’.

It’s taken from their upcoming debut album ‘GOLDSTAR’, set to be released on 13th March via Rough Trade Records.

Frontman Ethan Ramon explains the narrative of the new track: “‘SWEETIEPIE’ is someone standing outside their ex’s window at 3 a.m., waving their arms over their head and screaming for some sort of second chance. In our narrator’s head, they’re John Cusack in Say Anything, but in reality, they’re just another creep who had too much to drink.”

Ramon further elaborates on his approach to songwriting, saying, “Sometimes it’s important to write from the perspective of the worst part of yourself so that version of yourself can live through the music rather than exist in your day-to-day life.”
