About ‘Glitter Bug’
On June 13, Sophia Eliana releases her debut studio album, Glitter Bug—a joyous journey where melodies shimmer like sparkly eyeshadow, field recordings peek through synth pads like crickets at dusk, and fuzzy electric guitars scratch the brain like the relief of itching a mosquito bite you just can’t resist. Glitter Bug flirts with dreamy introspection and ecstatic bursts of energy, capturing life through a kaleidoscopic, bug-eyed lens that celebrates queer love, transformation, and the natural world.
The album was co-produced by Sophia Eliana, Noah Dearborn, and Jacob Williams. It was engineered by Williams, mixed by Dearborn at The Wonderhaus in Glendale, CA, and mastered by Willow Edge at Bakery Mastering in Los Angeles. Glitter Bug is an album that invites listeners to throw on a ridiculous amount of sequins, roll in the grass, and let themselves shine like a big fat luminous bug under the infinite night sky.
