Sofia Härdig releases ninth studio album ‘Lighthouse of Glass’

Swedish avant-rock artist Sofia Härdig returns with ‘Lighthouse of Glass’, her highly anticipated ninth studio album. Known for her powerful vocals and genre-defying approach to songwriting, Härdig delivers a record that feels both deeply intimate and cinematic in scope — a collection of stories born out of a creative cocoon, where solitude sparked a flood of artistic inspiration.

Written over a two-year period of near-total isolation, ‘Lighthouse of Glass’ sees Härdig channeling her emotions, thoughts, and readings into a vault of over 100 tracks — from which this album emerges as the distilled essence. “I wrote on my own in solitude for almost two years,” she explains. “I read a lot, wrote a lot, and recorded more than a hundred songs. I was in this cave of writing.”

The result is a record that feels like flipping through a book of ghostly short stories. Each song is a fragment of a larger narrative, capturing a singular emotion or moment in time. From the haunting, piano-led opening of ‘Pale Fire’ to the soaring, heart-wrenching drama of ‘Kingdom Come’, Härdig’s voice acts as both narrator and vessel, inviting listeners into the depths of her inner world.
