Sophie’s Body, who describe themselves as a “bubble grunge quartet”, are led by Sophie McMinn and feature Dylan Hughes (drums), Harry Van Der Meer (bass), and Adam Hurt (guitar). They recently released their debut album Zero.

Described as an “accidental concept album” by McMinn, these Rock songs conjure a sense of “looming unease, uncertainty, and stress.”

The band have also shared “Socialyte Zero”, the record’s centerpiece which shakes off “the weight of the world.”

McMinn comments on the song:

It was the last song I wrote for “Zero”, and it feels like it’s my attempt at pushing the big heavy existential dread off me. There is no fear and no pain when I just embrace it all for what it is.

On the accompanying visualizer for “Socialyte Zero”, McMinn notes:

The burning house was a pretty literal pull from the lyrics, but it felt fitting. Us and Asher Thomas, two bottles of Everclear, and a discount fire extinguisher made a mission for mayhem.
