From Gas To Solid / you are my friend

Recorded mainly at her home in a quiet leafy corner of Vienna, From Gas to Solid… is not only self-produced but self-played.

“People tell me I work in an uncommon way, I sample everything, even when musicians are involved and liken how I make my music to painting. It means I can get over my educated mood, and more trust what I hear. It gives me more freedom.”  explains experimental musican and producer Anja Plaschg, who works under the name Soap&Skin.

Returning in 2018 after a recording hiatus, she previously had home country No. 1 in Austria with Narrow in 2012. In the wait she's mellowed in adulthood, shedding some of the anger, but still reflects on the struggle to find meaning, answers, and a place to survive. Encompassing a range of musical allegiances - infused with tranquil electronica, militaristic percussion, coupled with choral ambience and earthy ethereal grandeur, From Gas To Solid is an expansive, stunning, wide-reaching album of dynamic beauty – the finale arrives in a serene interpretation of Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World.

From Gas to Solid / you are my friend is due out October 26 through Play It Again Sam via Inertia Music.
