Moses Sumney has announced a new EP. His first new record in three years is self-titled Sophcore and arrives on August 2 via Tuntum's label. The indie rock singer-songwriter also shared new song “Gold Coast,” which you can listen to below.
Sophcore is the fifth EP of Sumney's career, following 2018 Black on Deep Red, 2014. It features six tracks in total, including “Gold Coast” and the previously released track “Vintage” from June. “Sophcore explores the intersections between sensuality and intuition… esotericism and populism… deep emotion and fun,” Sumney said in a press release. “It's a dive into underground rhythm, bass and drums, and you're making music for the hips as well as the heart.”
Sumney released the live album Live from Blackalachiawith the single “Bystanders (In Space),” in 2021. He has contributed to the soundtracks for The idol and Everything Everywhere Simultaneously in the space since then, and hit the screen as an actor in the horror film MaXXXine. However, when it comes to proper albums, it's been a while. Sumney's most recent LP was in 2020 Græ.
