The tension between two separate worlds that are totally unrelated and yet, because of this, have much in common has been the source of inspiration for the multi-instrumentalist
SOHN for many years. Born Toph Taylor, the British artist exchanged the hubbub of London’s city centre for the calm serenity of the Austrian mountains. Inspired by Vienna’s famous electronic scene, SOHN created a musical dreamscape in which menacing but warm vocals are mixed with the cold sound of analogue drum machines and synthesizers. An unlikely combination of contrasts which form the basis of his captivating debut album
Tremors (2014). SOHN plays with language, sows confusion and is constantly searching for the unexpected. This makes his live shows an intense and deeply poignant experience. SOHN’s music feels like the aftershock of an earthquake – you know something is coming but you never know what to expect.
