 ‘Young-Girl Forever’ is the shimmering new electro-pop album by Vienna-based artist Sofie Royer. It follows her 2020 debut, ‘Cult Survivor’, and 2022’s ‘Harlequin’.
 The album paints a bold portrait of how it is to be a female artist today - amid capitalist trappings, existential uncertainties, and a constant feeling that you’re out of step with other people your age.
 Royer borrowed the term ‘Young-Girl’ from ‘Preliminary Materials for the Theory of a Young-Girl’, originally published in French anarchist journal Tiqqun. The book portrays the Young-Girl as a symbol of consumerism under modernity.
 ‘Young-Girl Forever’ oscillates between optimism and doom - it celebrates the Young-Girl while also rebuking the culture that created her, and so expresses desire for true
liberation.
 Eye-catching and unique vinyl artwork with colourful printed lyric insert.
 Sofie Royer has opened for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Lana Del Rey and Air.
 She has previously collaborated with Tory Y Moi, Cola Boyy, Mndsgn, &ME, MISS WORLD, Peanut Butter Wolf and Lewis OfMan and was a founding member of Boiler Room.
