The Sophs have confirmed their debut album ‘GOLDSTAR’, releasing the title-track

Los Angeles band The Sophs have announced their debut album, ‘GOLDSTAR’.

The six-piece outfit – who last year released the singles ‘I’M YOUR FIEND’, ‘SWEAT’ and ‘DEATH IN THE FAMILY’ – will released the full-length on 13th March via Rough Trade.

Frontman Ethan Ramon describes the title-track as “the worst person you know yelling at God to give them a sign that they are good.” He adds, “In a deliberately unserious way, we want the song to prompt the same question that the album raises, which is – if you are a good person for the wrong reasons, does that detract from your goodness?”

The tracklisting for ‘GOLDSTAR’ reads:

‘THE DOG DIES IN THE END’
‘GOLDSTAR’
‘BLITZED AGAIN’
‘SWEAT’
‘HOUSE’
‘SWEETIEPIE’
‘DEATH IN THE FAMILY’
‘A SYMPATHETIC PERSON’
‘They Told Me Jump, I Said How High’
‘I’M YOUR FIEND’
