Into the Waves
by Sophia Knapp
Sophia Knapp's solo debut Into the Waves drifts into ethereal waters, blending 1970s singer-songwriter grace with alt-rock shimmer.
Frontwoman of Cliffie Swan, Knapp channels Olivia Newton-John's glossy catchiness, Stevie Nicks' soaring spirit, and fleeting Fleetwood Mac pulses, crafting melodies that soothe and surprise. Gentle ballads like "Spiderweb" evoke 4AD dreaminess, while the title track hooks with unreleased pop perfection. Bill Callahan's dusky duets add shadowy contrast to the luminous haze. Closer "In Paper" blooms into Kate Bush-esque poetry, retro-futurist and hypnotic. A melodic near-masterpiece, it marries old-fashioned charm with bold innovation.
