Loser Puppy

**Loser Puppy** is the indie pop project of Sophie Cates, a Chicago-born, Nashville-based artist known for her dreamy, lo-fi sound and candid lyricism. Starting as a bedroom pop endeavor in 2019, Cates crafts songs that blend playful hooks with introspective themes, often exploring self-doubt, identity, and the messy parts of growing up. Tracks like "Marmite & Bread" and "Lil Richard" showcase her knack for pairing fuzzy guitars with offbeat humor, while recent releases like "Just Wait" and "Almost Straight" lean into brighter, synth-driven textures. Signed to Father/Daughter Records, Loser Puppy’s music feels like a late-night chat with your most relatable friend—quirky, honest, and unafraid to embrace the awkward.
