About the Artist

Who is Sophie Burbery? And who is her alter-ego, Little Bark? Why does she feel the need to split herself in two?

Hope is Rubbery is a brand new double album in the spirit of Outkast’s celebrated Speakerboxx/The Love Below, where the two sides of the album differ in style, each reflecting a different artistic voice. Only with Hope is Rubbery there is a single artist with two distinct musical personas.

Little Bark is a superhero. She gained her powers from a terrible accident with an exploding mirrorball, and learned to harness them from magical forest creatures in a radioactive wilderness. If you want to party then this ‘strange sylvan creature’ is your friend.

Sophie Burbery’s born persona creates ‘vaporous’, ‘ethereal’ songs that will take you on a journey through ‘rootlessness and transformation’.

The Little Bark sessions were recorded in collaboration with T.C (Conrad) Wedde of The Phoenix Foundation, and mixed by Lee Prebble in Wellington, and Dale Cotton recorded the Sophie Burbery sessions in Dunedin. With the agreement of both Little Bark and Sophie Burbery the recordings were combined to form the album Hope is Rubbery, and mastered by Dale Cotton.
