Mother Soki

Based in Minneapolis, Mother Soki develops a solo project nourished by a long musical apprenticeship begun during studies in Chicago, where the urge to compose and record gradually emerged. The Mother Soki project sits in a dreampop vein tinged with indie rock and shoegaze echoes, with a sonic imagination marked by 1990s nostalgia. Influences from groups and artists like The Sundays, Imogen Heap and Cocteau Twins appear in a writing style focused on textures, where retro-tinged synths blend with dense guitars and airy, often layered vocals to create a sense of space. Mother Soki’s tracks play on the contrast between a relatively heavy rhythmic and harmonic base and light, almost-whispered melodies, which give the project its sonic identity. Active on the North American indie scene, Mother Soki primarily releases music online and is undergoing a discreet but steady evolution of their universe.
