“The band’s tumbling melodies, trippy lyrics, eclectic instrumental arrangements, and all-out pageantry have dazzled.” -Spin                                                                                                                                                                Sophe Lux & The Mystic is a vehicle for singer-songwriter, and visual and video artist Gwynneth Haynes. Haynes is the younger sister of film director Todd Haynes, (Carol, I’m Not There, Velvet Goldmine). Critics have compared Haynes’ music with the likes of Bjork, Kate Bush, David Bowie, Air, Peter Gabriel, and Florence and The Machine.

Her newest album “All Are One” is a soulful art pop masterpiece with plenty to savor. “Haynes’ keyboard playing is as pure and as potent as a mountain stream in spring, and as deft and as deliciously disorientating as a magician, while her voice is one that has engaged with love and life, and has matured its soul through the eyes of an all-embracing mystical being. Haynes embodies an infusion of Kate Bush, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Cat Power and Bjork.It is an album that looks at the heart of humanity as much as it does into the echelons of the universe. This is a superb collection of songs that contemplate life and the planet in all its glorious manifestations and moments. The recording is without question a profound statement artistically.” Tuned Loud, 2017

Haynes’ vocals are at times etheric and mystical, and at other times “soul-shattering.”
