Sophia Djebel Rose

(GUIT, VOC, FX)

Austère et baroque, sombre et lumineuse, brute et raffinée, Sophia Djebel Rose propose un folk électrique inclassable à l'aura magnétique. Elle emprunte au rock expérimental ses riffs saturés et ses drones entêtants, l'ADN de ses morceaux est aussi à chercher du côté de la tradition folk à laquelle l'artiste emprunte ses thèmes mystiques et engagés, parfois très sombres.

After a first self-produced Album which received numerous reviews (The Wire, Bandcamp, Shindig, Rock&Folk, Les InrocksBlog) and which the artist defended on stage and throughout Europe more than a hundred times (Grauzone Festival, Les Ateliers Claus, A38, Le Sonic), Sophia Djebel Rose will return with her second Album, to be released early 2025, and for which she signs the production from A to Z (Indian harmonium, modular synth, guitars, vocals).

Blanche Biche, which is an eco-feminist anthem freely adapted by the artist from the medieval french-speaking repertoire, telling the story of a woman who transforms into a doe at nightfall and who ends up decapitated by her own brother who left on the hunt...

Definitely to be classified among the unclassifiable, it is with fervor and thoroughness that Sophia Djebel Rose lays the groundwork for a work which registers in the wake of sensitives female pioneers who exploded the stylistic boundaries. To name a few ~ Catherine Ribeiro, Nico, PJ Harvey, Emanuelle Parrenin, Emma Ruth Rundle or Anna Von Hausswolff...
