DESCRIPTION - Sofie Royer, "one of Europe�s most intriguing underrated pop stars, with a captivating voice and an offbeat aristocratic glamour" (The Guardian), is back with a new album. Having released three acclaimed LPs, the Viennese musician�s songwriting and production have become more complex and polished, her lyrics sharper and funnier. before/after is her most incisive record to date, confronting the gripes of being an artist and weaving self-excavation with cultural commentary. Sofie may have gone from lo-fi producer to a bona fide pop musician who�s opened for Lana Del Rey, Air and LCD Soundsystem, but she still doesn't know where she fits in. She pulls no punches when critiquing the music industry � �I�m too pop for the art world, too indie darling for the mainstream� � but saves her biggest swings for herself. Over 12 catchy pop songs, Royer wonders if conflicts between past and future aren�t just battles with our own selves. �We are constantly in a battle with the �pre� and �post� states of time,� she explains. �There is a preoccupation with these two tenses; yet by remaining entangled in these states, we are often our own greatest obstacle to overcome. Really, in the state of before/after, it�s always you vs you.�
