valentine's day The Secret Life of Sofia - new record, two brand new MP3s, live dates

valentine's day The Secret Life of Sofia shared some tantalizing news with EF yesterday, announcing the "semi-imminent" release of their anticipated full-length album Seven Summits. You may remember that we picked TSLOS as one of our top artists to emerge this year, and judging by the two advanced tracks below, we feel so clever! Hold on, we're patting ourselves on the back right now.

The first song, "Outside", is a delicate gust of autumn air in your speakers, a lovely, pastoral romp that establishes the reflective mood that permeates much of Seven Summits. Your palate cleansed, be sure to then check out the galloping "Fifty Fourteeners" and witness the band at its most propulsive and exaltedly frenetic. Together, these two tracks form a nice preview of what to expect on the rest of the album, but don't take our word for it. Listen to it, love it, and act on any of the below opportunities to see TSLOS and hear the new material live in the near future (see below). And though there is no solid release date for the album yet, the band is hard at work putting together a handmade-packaged limited edition version for tentative release at the end of May.

Listen:
"Outside"
"Fifty Fourteeners"
