SOPHIE Just Dropped His Most Unhinged Single Yet

There is something like genuine agony here.

One of the most common things you'll encounter in writing about PC Music-affiliated producer SOPHIE is the prefix "hyper-." That's probably with good reason, as his productions always tend to push a feeling of extreme, saccharine excess, not unlike the Snapchat feature where you can make yourself vomit rainbows.

But on his latest tacks, the excess is taking on a darker cast. His last single, "MSMSM," was full of distortion and dissonant clanging, and this brand new one, called "JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE" (artwork above), follows the same trend. There is something like genuine agony here, and by the time the third chorus comes around, it seems like it's about to overload completely. It's an intense track, and an unusually candid one from the producer—have a listen below. SILICON PRODUCT, a collection of SOPHIE singles, is out November 27th—and available for pre-order now.
