Sofia’s new album Big Sky Country, just got selected one of the 5 best Americana albums of the year in the U.K by The Telegraph.

To coincide with her new album release Sofia will be touring in the UK 8th to 20th Nov 2016, and we're looking for  ticketed listening rooms with PA systems, there will be two in the touring party. Posters/Flyers and professional PR agent.

Sofia mixes her Swedish heritage with a twang of Americana, creating a special niche of folk music that has been described as neo-folk. Her songs go straight to the heart with lyrics of love and loss, and she binds them together with personal anecdotes from her many tours in the USA and Europe, creating a warm and relaxed environment for the audience. Although seemingly solo on stage, she is backed up by a thought through mix of delays and harmonies by her sound designer, just giving her voice and acoustic guitar that extra something without overpowering the songs, allowing everything to stay clear and true to its nature.
She has released 6 albums since 2005, played over 250 shows all over America, toured in Germany, Sweden and Ireland and made performances at well known festivals such as SxSW and Lollapalooza in the USA.

Even though this young lady is from Sweden, I’d place her at the forefront of the American vanguard. One listen will tell you why and how.”

UK quotes:
“Her sounds dig deep into the heart and elicit something truly awestruck and amazed.  One of the best and most intuitive songwriter on the scene; her music takes your mind to the scenes and sights she sings- it is such vivid and raw music that rewards those that love music with depth and soul.  Big Sky Country is as stunning and rich as its cover art: music that covers a wealth of topics and explores love, hope and wonderful characters.  There are few artists that have the prolific and consistency as Talvik.”
– Musicmusings and Such 

“Make home on your CD shelf for “Big Sky Country”, the latest in a collection of 6 full length albums, next to First Aid Kit recent purveyors mining similar vein with “Stay Gold” receiving measured success. Sofia’s perfected craft taking her nation’s abilities beyond pop, with open arms, be early bird to new opportunity and cradle Sofia standing on the cusp of, somewhat overdue, larger audiences.”
– Fatea Records 

“Talvik has put together a spellbinding assemblage of stripped-down, acoustic anthems that keep compelling from commencement to conclusion. While the instrumentation is adept and engaging, it’s her invigorating vocals that steal the show throughout. So charming is their tone, that the record remains uplifting and optimistic, even in its most melancholy moments.
