Drugs or no drugs, everyone needs their comedown set at a music festival, and Sophia Stel will absolutely be providing it with her hazy blend of alternative pop rock. Utilizing auto-tune (to harmonize with herself, the way it was intended) under a wash of shoegazey guitars, synths, and drum machines, Sophia Stel’s music is for resting the heart rate, lulling you into a sense of security, like floating on a cloud above a storm on a rainy day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Win At Solitaire <\/em>originally dropped last year as only a six-song EP, and this new deluxe edition comes with one new track, “I’ll Take It,” mixed by the electronic producer Mura Masa, and a few other edits of Solitaire<\/em> songs. This new track, “I’ll Take It,” slips into more danceified hyper pop rock, but still feels like it was made in a bedroom. “All My Friends Are Models (Tommy Genesis Version) now feels a bit more post-punk and motorik (my favourite on this new deluxe version), whereas the original was fringing on baroque pop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of Sophia Stel’s decision for her set at Palomosa, this will easily be the haziest and chill sets at this year’s Palomosa. She also just dropped a new hyperpop-centric track with “Bitches Talk Shit,” [oh, don’t they?] which is sure to command the Palomosa dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
