”Beautiful, exquisite, wickedly funny and earnest.” - Lucid Pilot
“Chopko’s lyrics turn her private world and the world at large into vivid cinema.“ - Joe Kornfield, Boston Herald American
Never Had a Love Like This, now (almost) everywhere
‘Never Had a Love Like This’ is a dispatch from modern adulthood—a sweeping indie folk record shaped by the fog of modern dating and tech-fractured intimacy. Across these ten tracks, Chopko charts a return to the body, to human connection, and to the natural world. An unflinching, satisfying work from an artist who holds an entire generation’s worth of frustration and longing in her gaze to craft for us a rare gift: recognition.
"It’s rare that a songwriter truly tries to sift through the grey areas of intimacy and romance in search of meaning, but Chopko does just that. The images her resistance-melting voice and chords paint are so vivid you can almost touch them - the songs shine like a diamond." - Americana UK
