“[Sophie] might have been born a decade too late to be a New Romantic, but she’s bang on time to start the revival.”
- Maddy Costa, April 19th 2016

 “Sharp-suited surefire future pop sensation” Sophie Mahon brings a form of escapism and romanticism that is somewhat lacking in today’s cynical 21st Century maelstrom of plastic pop. Sophie takes inspiration from her Eighties New Wave influences Roxy Music, Duran Duran and David Bowie “but far from being a mere pastiche of bigger-haired times, [Sophie’s] music is fresh, urgent and oddly moving” - Seymour Quigley.

death of death of discotheque are three standard men and one human woman. they are making the sort of music they want to make and it is propulsive, heartfelt, uncommon, shrill, glorious and angular in aspect. one of them went to art school which means they are disco ponces. one of them works at a rock school which makes them teachers of men. someone once heard them and said they didn’t know whether to dance or throw up, which means they are messy. they make their own instruments. you can imagine how that turns out.
