Sophia

Musical Group

Sophia is the music project led by Robin Proper‑Sheppard, formed after the end of his earlier group The God Machine; reviews emphasize intimate, melancholic songwriting across studio albums and live performances.

Robin Proper‑Sheppard was the leader of The God Machine before starting Sophia. Sophia's discography includes Fixed Water (1996) and subsequent albums reviewed on DeBaser; reviews reference labels such as City Slang and PIAS and frequent themes of melancholy, acoustic arrangements and occasional post‑rock dynamics.

DeBaser reviews present Sophia as Robin Proper‑Sheppard's intimate, melancholic project with strong singer‑songwriter and slow‑core/post‑rock threads. Critics praise emotional intensity across studio and live recordings. Recent coverage highlights acoustic livestreams and the 2020s return with Holding On / Letting Go.

For:Fans of melancholic singer‑songwriter music, slowcore, post‑rock and intimate live performances

 I searched the dictionary for the term intimacy and among the nuances of its meanings I find the following definition: “...Sometimes it refers rather to environments where one is among intimate people, among family, or where one feels perfectly free and at ease, far from any prying eyes of strangers.”
