MISS GRIT - Follow The Cyborg LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition Smokey Marble colour vinyl.

Highly recommended.

Not usually the kind of thing we'd listen to - contemporary art pop - but we've gone back to it numerous times. Softening in our old age - either that or this punk rocker is doing everything he can to avoid discovering a love of jazz!

The monicker of Margaret Sohn, who studied music technology and engineering at NYU, it follows in the footsteps of their first two EPs. Like those releases, Follow the Cyborg is self-produced and Sohn’s writing process of building songs around a textural genesis is apparent. Spiky guitars and delicate vocals are joined by an array of electronic elements befitting the album’s subject. While touchstones of St. Vincent’s influence are evident, Follow the Cyborg is a unique concoction whose extraordinary execution and beautiful attention to detail fuses the album sonically and thematically. The production emphasises the part-human, part-machine nature of the cyborg character.
