Electronic-pop duo sofitukker chats about the makings of their upcoming album, their creative process, and staying optimistic. 💫
Sofi Tukker, the electronic-pop group featuring Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern, just wants to have fun. Their new album— which stands for “when everyone tries to evolve, nothing negative is safe” — is an exploration of joy, crafted during the height of the pandemic. According to the duo, they were inspired to release new music after their fans, the self-titled “Freak Fam,” made a weekly virtual-meeting to connect with each other.
“We want it to be,” Halpern begins, eager to explain the record's vibe, “playful,” Hawley-Weld interjects. “Light, fun, playful, and you know, wet,” he continues. “And sexy,” she concludes as he nods in agreement. The record aptly meets that description throughout its twelve-track run.
We really made the music on purpose, because we were envisioning the live show as we were writing it. We would think, "Oh, it would be really cool in the show to have a guitar solo here, [or] a call and response moment here." That's where that album came from. Whereas this album was written by and large during the pandemic.
Halpern: We definitely get a ton of people when they are pre-gaming before they go out, or they're dancing at home with their friends, or they're in a workout class, or they're just at a lot of fun-gathering moments. I think it's nice that our music brings people together.Hawley-Weld: Oh, my God, it's so different. Our rules are really different.Hawley-Weld: Basically Tucker has this style of creating which I really admire and love, which is — show up every day and create.
