Leaving the lonely nighttime streets of London for the mountainous landscapes of Austria, multi-instrumentalist and producer SOHN (pronounced Sonn) draws his inspiration from the dichotomy that exists between the two. Reacting to Vienna’s legendary immersive electronic scene, SOHN has created a sound that blends his haunting vocal stylings with a backdrop of analogue drum machines and synths, mixing the worlds of old and new together to create a foundation for his tracks. Aside from emphasising the soulfulness of his voice, SOHN’s lyrics play upon the space that exists within language, twining his vocals around the gaps between sentences, and reclaiming the importance of words.
Since signing to 4AD in Spring 2013, SOHN has been busy collaborating with various acts, including producing the recent Banks track ‘Waiting Game’ and remixing Angel Haze’s debut single ‘Echelon (It’s My Way)’, as well as working on his own full-length, scheduled for the beginning of 2014.
