A SOHN Australian Tour 2014 has been announced marking the debut Down Under visit from the multi-instrumentalist and producer.
SOHN – the music non de plume of English ex-pat singer and musician Christopher Taylor – is making his first ever appearance on Australian shores this winter, treating audiences in Melbourne and Sydney to headline shows in June, presented by I OH YOU and Laneway Presents.
After producing tracks for the likes of Kwabs and Banks and releasing a handful of acclaimed singles of his own, SOHN released one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year in his debut Tremors (out now through 4AD/Remote Control Records), instantly receiving critical buzz in the process.
Relocating from South London to immerse himself in Vienna’s flourishing electronic scene, the album draws inspiration from the two contrasting landscapes that SOHN calls home. Tremors finds the perfect balance between London’s buzzing hubbub and Vienna’s serene and calming backdrop in eleven hypnotic tracks including lead single ‘Artifice’.
Recorded entirely at night, SOHN would finish each overnight recording session with a cold sunrise on his walk home from the studio. The influence of the lush and cinematic scenery that surrounded him during the recording process can be seen in Tremors’ breathy and sparse sound.
When translated to the live stage, SOHN shows his mastery of several instruments as well as his skills as a producer. Get a taste of what Australian audiences have to look forward to in the 4AD live session of ‘The Wheel’ here.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see SOHN grace on Australian shores for the very first time. An artist on the rise, this may be your one and only chance to catch him in such intimate venues. Tickets are on sale from 10am local time on Monday 19 May.
