Tremors, the debut album from London-born Vienna-based SOHN, is released in Australia via 4AD / Remote Control and is currently sitting at #1 on the iTunes Electronic Album Chart and #11 on the overall iTunes Album Chart.
Tremors is the way in which past traumas, as much as past successes, linger like the aftershocks of an earthquake. Even in the calmest moments its effects continue to reverberate and inform who we become. Throughout the eleven songs that form Tremors runs a sense of the nocturnal – a sensitivity to the darkness and its inhibitions – with London-born SOHN adopting a night-time schedule for an intense period of long nights writing and recording in his Vienna studio. “I wanted Tremors to feel like fresh air,”says SOHN. “There’s something about the way I was working overnight on the album which found its way into the sound. Every night I worked finished with a cold sunrise and a walk home… and to me that’s what Tremors sounds like.”
To coincide with the release of Tremors, SOHN has recorded four tracks for 4AD Sessions. Vogue premiered ‘Artifice’, ‘The Wheel’ was premiered via Noisey and the most recent session for ‘Bloodflows’ was premiered via Dummy. Watch the 4AD Sessions via the images below.

Praise for SOHN ….
“When I first heard Sohn I felt like my ears were getting a big sonic gift. Such is the excellence of his production. Then he starts singing, and I’m a goner.” – Zan Rowe, triple j
“Tremors blow delicate bubbles of melancholia as SOHN wallows in lovelorn desperation… the elusive beauty of this album documents the emergence of a unique and accomplished talent.” –The Music ★★★★
“SOHN’s essentially written an album’s worth of brilliant pop songs.” – This Is Fake DIY ★★★★
“With earnest vocals, restless melodies, and nimble beats, Sohn paints a moody soundscape deep enough to sink into.” – Vogue
“[SOHN] drops his exquisitely produced debut, and the result is a near-flawless, diaphanous LP, as soulful and brooding as it is sleek and measured. Running a policy of tight vocal loops, raindrop percussion, and hypnotic, membranous bass, these eleven tracks mark SOHN as an unflinching virtuoso.” – The Skinny
