New Sofi Tukker


 Sofi Tukker dropped "Original Sin" last Friday, the first single off their forth coming new album due out on April 29th. The song features the two best friends see-sawing on vocals which seductively explore the navigation of life and it's temptations the best we can. It's saucy with an easy, percussion heavy build up and a soft drop of it's pulsating beat. Following suit of  2020's "Purple Hat", 2021's,  "Mon Cheri" and so many songs from Sofi Tukker their latest is another dance floor worthy one. It's repetitive existential lyrics cloaked in it's atmospheric vibe could be easily featured in an episode of Euphoria. It's one of the best that 2022 has offered so far that I've heard. 


While the platonic couple have dropped a good number of singles over the years, this album will comes as a long awaited follow up to their 2018 debut, Tree House. It's title is Wet Tennis is an odd name on the surface but dive just a little bit deeper and Sophie Hawley-Weld explains that Wet Tennis is an acronym for: when everyone tries to evolve, nothing negative is safe. Learning that made me like the album even though only one song off of it has been released. People need more of the kind of energy that the message of Sofi Tukker naming their second album this. Especially in these on-going, trying, taxing times we're doing our best at living through. It comes as a relief to hear this essence of like being discussed in a positive light. "Original Sin" serves as a humble release as it welcomes you to shake it out.
Sofi Tukker's vibrancy for life daringly blares in the promotional photos for the album with Sophie and Tuk popping in bright orange, neon pink and purple Ombre tennis outfits. They always present themselves in eye catching threads and I am absolutely loving the over all unintrusive yet  in your face sunset feels their new album is already giving. 





Now's your chance to shake it out with Sofi Tukker  because the duo has been on tour as of January 28th. They're also on that festival circuit as early as February 26th at Belly Up Aspen and speaking from experience, they know how to get the party started at a fest. If history repeats itself, fun times are ahead with Sofi Tukker!
