Harlequin

by Sofie Royer

supported by

Art Fin Saw her fantastic first big U.S. show of cabaret-pop and she's the real deal. A multi-skilled, complete entertainer who appears to love performing which connected well with the diverse crowd in Rockefeller Center at Rough Trade's 2022 indieplaza festival. Favorite track: Schweden Espresso.

Dean Blunt Takes the beautifully melancholic sound and lyrics of Cult Survivor and completely perfects it. Whole album is so diverse and lush and full of beautiful songwriting. When Schweden Espresso surprised dropped, I probably listened to it for two hours straight. Every single track here is so good you'll want to play the whole album on repeat forever. Favorite track: Schweden Espresso.

DŶSENTERY BLUES From boiler room crew to the SOS mix tape, all the way to cult survivor and her collab with the ever talented miss world, Sofie has continued to impress and gain more momentum with each and every release. I for one am highly anticipating this 2nd full length effort. Oi!

about

Harlequin is the new album by the Viennese artist and singer-songwriter Sofie Royer. The album showcases the musician’s passion for her native city’s opera and ballet traditions as well as the baroque lyricism of cabaret, medieval performances and the court jester. Blended with nostalgia for early aughts reality television and American mall punk subculture, Harlequin presents a montage of peculiar characters, vernacular settings and mysterious chronologies that are as theatrical as they are musical.

After the release of her debut album Cult Survivor in 2020, Sofie started to experiment with her own identity through the act of dress-up. From Harlequin’s artwork through to Sofie’s live performances, she adopts the visual aesthetic and gestures of the court jester, clown and cabaret artist.
