Fauvely
ARTIST BIO
Fauvely (faux-vlee) is the project of Chicago-based songwriter Sophie Brochu, who creates deeply personal dream-pop music. After completing her master’s in fiction writing and feeling frustrated with the constraints of her craft, Sophie turned to music for its raw and immediate release. Her debut EP, Watch Me Overcomplicate This, was recognized for its delicately introspective songs about self-doubt and longing.
With Dale Price, Scott Cortez, and Dave Piscotti on board, the band signed to Diversion Records in 2019 while their sound evolved into fuller, more carefully arranged soundscapes that have drawn comparisons to Mazzy Star, Mothers, and Cate Le Bon. Named after a poetry collection by Marie Howe, the group's latest release, This is What The Living Do, was inspired by loss, rejection, years of waiting tables, and yearning to be seen in the strange age of oversharing. With its delicate swells and hushed grandeur, the album's title track was called "perfect dream-pop" by The Chicago Reader.
