Below is a commentary by the label.

"What Sophie Michalitsianos has created with just voice, piano and cello is magical and defies label color. Originally released as a private press CD for her fans, IAAYA (I Am As You Are is sublime, intimate, weightless, and comforting, a slow-paced album that feels like it needs this music, this moment. there is.

If the name Sol Seppy sounds familiar,In 2006, Michalitsianos released his groundbreaking album, The Bells of 1 2.The song Enter One from this album has been used in many famous TV shows.

After this albumMichalitsianos moved to Australia with her husband, had a daughter, and worked on new music that she eventually decided to self-release.Tragedy happened in the meantime and she lost her husband and she was left alone with her three-year-old child.

However, when I joined a band called Sparklehorse as a multi-instrumentalist, I was reunited with drummer Scott Minor.he moved to americaMichalitsianos fell in love and married Minor.During that time he worked on what would become IAAYA, the majority of which was recorded and mixed in Knoxville.

But now she lives in a small village in Greece, which she wants to make her home while she works on her next two records.Yes, this is only the first part of a trilogy.

It has taken a long time, but we are proud to present the first pressing of IAAYA Part One.

"What Sophie Michalitsianos has created, using barely more than her voice, piano, and cello, is magical, defying labels. Originally released as a private-press CD for her fans, IAAYA, or I Am As You Are, is sublime, intimate , weightless, and comforting. The album takes its time yet feels urgent, like you need this music, this moment.

If the name Sol Seppy sounds familiar, it's because Michalitsianos had one groundbreaking album in 2006, The Bells of 1 2, which for those that heard it became one of the most important albums of the 00s. From it came the track Enter One, which has been used on numerous high-profile TV shows and has a silly number of views on YouTube.

Since that album, Michalitsianos moved to Australia with her husband, had a daughter, and worked on new music that she ultimately decided to self-release. During this time, tragedy struck and she lost her husband, leaving her alone with her three-year -old.

But her association with the band Sparklehorse as a multi-instrumentalist led to a reunion with drummer Scott Minor. Moving to the US, Michalitsianos fell in love and married Minor, all the while working on the album that would become IAAYA, recording and mixing most of it while in Knoxville.

Now, though, she lives in a small Greek village, hoping to make it her home while she works on the next two records. Yes, this is just the first part of a trilogy.

So it's been a long time coming, but it's with great pride that we present the first ever vinyl pressing of IAAYA Part One.

In Sophie's own words: "Deep within these songs is a meeting place. It's an old home of everyone's and I hope for it to be an anchor whilst we bob up and down in chop.'"
