Alt-pop artist Sophie Powers has released her new EP, Glitch: Lvl 1, today via Atlantic Records/TAG Music; stream it, and watch videos below. Talking about the EP, she says, “If Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph had a playlist, it would be this EP. Full of fast-paced hyperpop, industrial, and pop-punk sounds, it’s the perfect record for summer ’24! The listener needs to be ready to hear this EP, as it tackles topics such as ARFID, depression, anxiety, breakups, ADHD, love, and navigating life as a teen today. With technology having changed so much in the past 15 years, the visuals and aesthetics tie in nostalgic and pixelated graphics from my childhood, alongside the tech we see today. That’s where the player ready? pixelated video-game storyline fits in. The listener should be ready for a blast from the past, and launch into the future. This is my last year of being a teen. I might as well go out with a bang!”
