>when people ask me what kind of music i do,< says soko, >i usually tell them - punk secrets<. intimate, lo-fi, crazy, sexy, funny, tear-stained, heartbreaking, often all at once, the explosive young frenchwomans songs have already touched people around the world, earning her a massive global following. at one mega-gig in australia, she had 15.000 people singing along with her. since her teens, soko has been on a rollercoaster journey. from a stockpile of over 100 songs, she has now finally whittled down to a selection of 14, her debut album. aptly entitled >i thought i was an alien<, it is full of love and loss and worry - the kind of fundamental, life-dictating human feelings, which are so far beyond rational explanation, they really ought to be kept under lock and key, along with that strange apparition from roswell.
