Tremors

SOHN initially made waves with his ultra-hip electro-soul remixes, but the producer/songwriter’s debut album showcases the breadth of his talent beyond the mixing board. Merging neo-soul melodies, crackling electronics and elements of dubstep and house, Tremors is a tour of elegant sonic minimalism and exquisite songwriting. The album’s soaring single, “Artifice”, displays these virtues in a tidy package, while downtempo tracks like “Lights”, “Bloodflows” and “Paralysed” are strung together in a mesmerising nocturnal soundtrack. While the title track delivers a clapping beat, a thick fog of analogue synths and an aching melody, Tremors closes with a mournful, masterful statement from an artist of seemingly unlimited potential.
