Undertow

Description

With her debut album, Undertow, London-based singer-songwriter Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi reveals a poignant vulnerability, nestled in a dark atmosphere that is both intimate and grand. Voice and cello form the foundation of a finely crafted record that weaves together memories, grief, growth, and connection. Undertow took shape during an exploration of sensuality and self, through a period of self-work after trauma, drawing inspiration from the life, love, and losses that surround and intertwine. Undertow ties this intimacy to the body, exploring violence and deep trust. The album addresses the consequences of violence against women, moving from fear and pain towards healing.
