Bleep

SOPHIE first appeared on Huntleys & Palmers, whipping up a storm of synthpop with ‘Nothing More to Say’. This double A-side on Numbers is even friskier: ‘Bipp’ takes a breathy vocal sample (“I can make you feel better”) and lashes it to writhing bass and analogue synth squeals. ‘Elle’ is darker, a slow drum and bass beat that finds a big melodic heart thanks to tuneful strings.
