Sophe Lux
“Plastic Apple”
Zarathustra Records
$$$
With a deep throaty voice and highly poetic lyrics, Sophe Lux reminds me highly of one of her influences, PJ Harvey, but Lux has added a unique twist to the old story of solo women singers. The result is splendor, power and a cd that you won’t want to stop listening to. Originally from Southern California, Sophe Lux was born into, and kept company with the people of the arts. Sophie is a smart woman with a firm grasp on all things liberal arts. Her music is mellow, sad and beautiful-quite a reflection on the worldly culture of today. One of the songs I enjoyed was “Freddy’s Tune” which has a slight country feel to it where as songs like “Perfect Love” and “Buried” have more of an indie feel to it. I love PJ so naturally I was draw to Sophe Lux’s cd. It is a rich blend of all of the best qualities of some of the world’s best folk and indie legends.
