Sofia Härdig Released New Single “In Silence”

Swedish artist Sofia Härdig unveils today “In Silence” in anticipation of the release of her album Lighthouse Of Glass out April 11, 2025 via Bark at Your Owner.

Drawing from a diverse range of influences including Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and Alan Vega, “In Silence” emerges as the final preview of Härdig’s upcoming album Lighthouse of Glass. The track represents what she describes as “the tip of the iceberg of a long cycle of lyrics, often a novel/short story that I have built in solitude.” 

Opening with delicate acoustic guitar that gradually builds in intensity, the track showcases Härdig’s commanding vocals, delivered with a raw, Patti Smith-esque power that cuts through the instrumentation with visceral force. The track found new life when Härdig rediscovered it in her archives, taking on fresh dimensions through careful layering of instrumentation. A chance encounter after a gig led to the addition of Sara Edin‘s captivating violin work, adding a new dimension to the track. Härdig recalls: “Sara saw one of my gigs and came up and said if you need violin just call me. I love her tone and playing. It’s bold and beautiful just as her.”
