Search - Sophia Knapp :: Into the Waves

2012 album from the singer/songwriter. Moving on from her Cliffie Swan album of last year, Sophia Knapp has brought together all the sounds she loves to make her own kind of singer/songwriter record. Which is one that sounds predominantly like a Stevie Nicks record. Don't tell me you didn't see that coming! Gentle ballads here are underlined with hip shaking grooves and sparkle sounds, and the lyrical content is more detailed and intimate. Tales of love, magic, and transformation rub shoulders with themes of alienation and loss. The mysterious words, studded with metaphors, demand repeated listens to decode. Features Bill Callahan dueting on a few tracks, a la Nancy & Lee or Serge & Jane.
