Sophie (Hamartia) - "Misogyny's got a new coat"

I sit down with Sophie Smith of Hamartia to talk about breakups, growth, and what it really means to choose yourself.We start with Bloom, a song about leaving a relationship that wasn’t toxic, just not right, and the moment you realise you’ve been shrinking yourself to be loved. Sophie opens up about emotional maturity, self-worth, and why some endings are acts of care rather than failure.We then dive into Hamartia’s latest release Synthetica. From performative feminism to microaggressions in the music industry, Sophie speaks about misogyny that doesn’t look obvious anymore but that is still very present.This conversation touches on feminism, mental health, grief, safety for women and trans people in music, burnout, and the power of community, all through the lens of songwriting and lived experience.Follow Hamartia on IG: @hamartiabandukFollow Into the Cave on IG: @intothecavepod
