   About SOPHIE HUNGER
Sophie Hunger, who grew up in London, Germany and Switzerland, released her first home recorded album „Sketches on Sea“ in 2006, by simply handing it around among friends in Zürich. This collection of songs spread instantely becoming a somewhat underground cult hit and was accompanied by sold out live performances.
Six months after her first recordings you would find her playing in Paris’ "Bataclan“ with Stephan Eicher, in Prag’s "Acropolis“ with Erik Truffaz and in London’s "Luminaire“ with The Young Gods. In 2008 she independently released her first studio album „Monday’s Ghost“ which will finally be distributed throughout Europe in early 2009.

Journalist : « Who are you as a person ? »
S. Hunger : « You mean, as opposed to me as an elephant ? »

" Like a young Polly Harvey she's hard to ignore. There's an element of force to this album. This is an obsessive, spooky and beautiful album."
Mojo UK, april 09

« Excellent » Le Monde, mars 09

" She veers between ingenue-like delicacy, cobwebbed weariness and - on the tumbling rant Sophie Hunger Blues - an uncaged quality. She's Laura Marling, Beth Orton and Björk in one folk-rocking package." The Guardian, London. May 09.

« Brillante et insaisissable = la suissesse Sophie Hunger s’affirme comme un songwriter de tempérament sur un album etincelant. » Les Inrockuptibles, février 09

« Un premier album distingué au charme inquiet (…) Il paraissait évident qu’elle allait faire parler d’elle » La Libération, février 09

« Venue de Suisse, une réussite absolue et inclassable. Bientôt Incontournable» Volume, France

“Sie verleibt sich die Sprache ein, kostet jede Silbe aus, haucht ihren Songs eine Zärtlichkeit und einen Zorn ein, der keinen unberührt lässt.”
FAZ, März 09

“Liebe Schweizer ihr habt Sophie Hunger erfunden, na gut. Aber wir würden sie liebend gerne mal ausleihen.” Spiegel Online, März 09

“Solche Konzerte sind selten. Jene Ausnahme-Abende zu schaffen, in denen alle im Saal das rauschhafte Bewusstsein eint, dabei zu sein.” Mobil, April 09

“Zeitlose, ortlose Jazzmelancholie, durch die sich Hunger seufzt und schreit, singt und kauzt.” Rollingstone, März 09

“Atemberaubendes Konzert” Musikexpress, März 09

Person from out a car window at a red light in Zurich: “ Hey you’re Sophie Hunger, you’re overrated and arrogant. And above all you’re so unnatural!”
Sophie Hunger: “You’re driving in a car.”

"Many have asked themselves, whether she’s actually precociously hard-boiled or dangerously vital." Das Magazin, 3.10.08

"And instantly one is being infected by Hunger’s fevered voice. And one almost becomes addicted to her expression.“ NZZ, 10.10.08

"Unfortunately I heard an interview on *** with her, now I can’t take her seriously anymore and will boycott her music. Others would have deserved fame much more. I even start to doubt, that she writes her lyrics by herself." Elk, cede.ch
