Because

SoKo is a French singer and actress born in Bordeaux. She began her singing career in 2006, when she expressed her desire to sing for the movie she was acting in. Her song "I'll Kill Her" gained popularity after it was featured on a Danish radio program. The song, initially published on her Myspace page for a select group of friends, quickly spread through word-of-mouth online. In 2007, the song was chosen by retired British radio DJ Tony Farsides to be played at Stella McCartney's show during Paris Fashion Week. Despite not being officially released, the song achieved success throughout Europe via radio play, internet presence, and live performances.

Soko's music can be compared to artists such as The Dø, CocoRosie, and Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Her unique style combines elements of indie folk and dream pop.

If you enjoy artists like Sibylle Baier, Molly Nilsson, or Sóley, you may also appreciate Soko's music. With influences from various genres including alternative rock and lo-fi indie, Soko creates captivating melodies that resonate with listeners.

Standout tracks on the album include the steady bopping and unquestionably cool 'Ocean of Tears' and the unapologetically Echo and the Bunnymen- and The Cure-esque guitar sounds of the title track. Once a soft-spoken singer-songwriter, Soko's music quickly caught up with her untamable persona. Three years ago, Soko released her debut album 'I Thought I Was An Alien,' that featured the track 'We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow', OST to the video 'First Kiss' (about 100 million views). Produced by the legendary Ross Robinson (who also produced her favorite band, The Cure) the album features the hypnotic duet 'Lovetrap' with friend and lo-fi wizard Ariel Pink also.CD - Digipack 2 panels printed on silver foil, 16 page booklet.LP - Gatefold sleeve LP printed on silver foil with white inner sleeve and CD included.
