The last time Sofia Kourtesis visited Line Noise she announced that she was planning her debut album. When she returned, at Primavera Sound 2024, that incredible debut album, Madres, had eaten the world, becoming one of the most loved and critically acclaimed dance music albums of the past few years. We spoke to her about the incredible reaction to Madres, emotion in dance music and taking a neurosurgeon to Berghain. Picture by Cecilia Diaz Betz.
