Gordi

Gordi is the moniker of 24-year-old Sophie Payten. She grew up in the countryside, near a winding river, with her 93-year-old grandmother living just up the peaceful road. Surrounded by nothing but space and silence… “And what else would you fill it with if not music?”

On her third album ‘Like Plasticine’, the Australian singer-songwriter dives deep into the rough edges of life. Across twelve genre-defying tracks – from the pop euphoria of ‘Peripheral Lover’ to the experimental ‘Alien Cowboy’ and the delicate beauty of ‘Lunch At Dune’ – she explores how beauty and sorrow often walk hand in hand. With her clear voice, intelligent production, and personal stories of identity, loss, and resilience, Gordi delivers a compelling, emotionally rich record that lingers long after it ends.
