Sofia Kourtesis has announced that she will release her new EP Volver on August 1st via Ninja Tune. Along with the announcement she has shared lead single ‘Unidos’ which is made in collaboration with Daphni (aka Dan Snaith aka Caribou), the first ever Daphni collaboration track. The Volver EP is Sofia’s first new music since Madres, her debut album released in October 2023. Having already broken through with a string of singles and EPs Madres took that success and ran with it, marking a huge moment for Sofia that has continued to build ever since. The album was described in their interview features as “one of the year’s best dance albums” by The Guardian and "the kind of music that thaws any and all frigidity and reminds you of your aliveness" by Pitchfork and ranked highly in ‘End of Year’ lists from NME, Pitchfork, The Guardian, Resident Advisor and more. Speaking of the Volver EP Sofia says: “In the Volver EP I am paying tribute to all the LGBT+ community and all the amazing trans women that I was lucky to meet through the course of the last few years. Their bravery and existence in a world full of hate and danger, they find a way to bring the lights to the most vulnerable communities, specifically those that are behind the walls of terrible corruption in the Latino America Security and Health System.”
