Driven by a multidisciplinary “total art” approach, Sofie Royer explores consumer culture with deliciously catchy synth-pop. On Young-Girl Forever, she bounces from despair to bliss via dreamy production that celebrates and deconstructs the album’s titular ideal. She’s worked with Boiler Room, opened for the likes of LCD Soundsystem and Lana Del Rey, and now makes her way to Sled Island for her debut Calgary performance.
