Release Notes:
Not to get all Beakman here, but some people have asked who Sofia is. Okay,
okay. OKAY. Pre-Christian sects wanted a word for the sort of wisdom everyone
hopes to acquire before they die--eventually they gave up and just used the word
"Sofia". Over time the word's meaning evolved, but the general idea stayed
intact--which is how Sofia became both a name for God and a word meaning
"clarity in confusion."
With that in mind, The Secret Life of Sofia aims to make music that's stark,
enveloping, melodic, and resonant. Taking cues from the music they love (Henryk
Gorecki, Arvo Part, "wall of sound rock band"), lead Kyle Wilson writes songs
about high altitude mountaneering, the life and death of grizzly men, and
various out-of-place-nesses, while multi-instrumentalists Eric Schwortz, Ian
Quay, and Steve Leventhal bring unique sounds (strings, percussion, bells,
harmonies) and skills (burrito-eating, gasping, Google-mapping, hotness) to the
project.
Kyle met Ian while studying music composition in college. Eric and Steve have
played in various bands together for 7 years. Shared sensibilities and a rare,
ardent work ethic brought them all together to form TSLOS.
