Tremors

I'm always looking for new, quality music. I'm a sucker for good electronica and a vulnerable voice full of emotion. Thom Yorke is one of my all-time faves. SOHN is the single best new artist I've encountered in a long time. Great production, beautiful voice. GET THIS ALBUM. You won't be disappointed. ****EDIT TO REVIEW AFTER LISTENING FOR A FEW DAYS**** I want to say a couple more things about this release. I notice on Amazon that many, many albums get 5 stars. The thing is this: I've purchased many with 5 star ratings and more often than not, there are only a couple of really strong tracks (if that) amidst 8 - 12. Lots of mediocre music gets amazing reviews. I don't review very often but I couldn't be quiet about this one. This is not your average release. Pretty much EVERY song on here is excellent. It's cohesive, incredibly well-produced and full of heart. I'm picky as hell about music and this is one of the few albums I've ever heard that is amazing from start to finish. Don't take the review below too seriously regarding Sohn's previous releases being superior. I've listened to his previous stuff under his former name : Toph Taylor. This album is the culmination of his talents and his older stuff reads as though he was still trying to find his sound. Decent but not nearly what he has done here. He's found his sound on Tremors and it's breathtaking. Check it.

Sick album. Packaging is gorgeous. Highly recommend it. Sohn produced a couple of tracks for Banks (the best ones) which is how I ended up discovering him. Sohn is Christopher Taylor's stage name. His album is basically his voice, which is beautiful and hypnotic, layered with well-crafted synths, and backed by an actual percussion kit. Definitely not edm by any means. The entire album is super melodic, and mesmeric. Highly recommend it, there's not much else like this out there.

SOHN IS AMAZING! He will be the next big thing very soon. Tremors is one of the greatest albums I have heard in years. He is consistent in his mood of the album, the lyrics perfectly match his melodies and the music. I loved this album so much, I looked up when I could see him play next to find out he was in my city TWO days prior to me looking it up. He is from Austria, yet you wouldn't think it with how beautiful his voice is.

I can't remember every writing a review for an album before because, like most have said, you usually get one or two good tracks out of 8-12 that are usually on an album. But that's not the case here. It is rare to find an album where you like every single song. I mean really rare or at least to me it is. This is great electronic music layered with a beautiful voice and amazing lyrics. I'm blown away by it, to be honest. And, if he produced it himself like some of the other posts have mentioned, then I'm even more impressed. The entire album will be on repeat for the next few weeks or months for sure. Wow...

One of those albums that gets better the more you listen to it. Complex, but very interesting, vocal lines are tough to soak in on the first listen, but do come through enough to provoke interest for further listening. The beats are pretty unique, backed with solid melodies, which make for some really great outro jams. Bloodflows is a fairly good preview track if you are unsure. The track starts with some mellow R&B esque vocals, which turns some people off initially, but I would recommend listening to the whole track because SOHNs strength lies in a sort of "build-up" of semi-disparate elements that usually culminate in an interesting finish.

I discovered SOHN on an electronic music satellite radio station and was instantly mesmerized. The music totally embodies the existential angst we all experience right now for so many reasons beyond our personal and collective control even though it is more specifically about the emotional turbulence of a relationship's ebb & flow. The vocals pair masterfully with the powerful idiosyncratic electronic orchestrations producing a very original and moody masterpiece you'll come back to again and again!

There is so much talent on this album. Every piece is excellent. I can't decide which song I like more. Vienna's air is very good for creating beautiful music and this is the proof. This album is melancholic, sweet and dark at the same time. Oh, I'm in love!

I was introduced to Sohn a week ago and had to buy his CD. I wish "Redlines" was on the CD, other than that I have no complaints.. Every track on this CD is a winner. I wish he was more well-known, but I'm glad I found his music.

Schon zu Trouble over Tokyo-Zeiten war ich ein großer Fan von Christopher Taylor. Seine Stimme ist einfach einzigartig! Nachdem ich ihn ein wenig aus den Augen verloren hatte, war es genau diese Stimme, die ich bei einem Festival sofort wiedererkannte und mir daraufhin die CD besorgte. Jetzt als SOHN unterwegs, klingen seine Songs düsterer, verzweifelter, lassen aber oft noch ein wenig Pop durchschimmern. Einfach wunderschön!

Ahora mismo Sohn es un compositor que está un paso por delante. Disco increible de principio a fin, totalmente recomendado!

Bellissimo album!

Thanks amazon for the low cost and the fast delivery ! SOHN is unique and is first album is a must to have in his vinyl collection

ロンドン出身のシンガー兼エレクトロニック・プロデューサー，Sohn（ソン）。 アンビエント・ミュージックのような静謐で奥行きを感じさせるキーボードや，一見チープながらもフューチャリスティックなシンセ。無機質なビート。悲痛なまでに透明感のあるハイトーン・ヴォーカル。ジャケット写真そのままの，厳しく孤高であるが故に美しい絶景を思わせるサウンドが淡々と進んでいきます。 序盤の2曲は個人的にはちょっと違和感があったのですが，3曲目。硬質で無機質なビートに，スピリットを感じさせる情熱的なギター＆シンセ，そして繊細ながらも鋭いハイトーン・ヴォイスが絡む「Artifice」のスリリングな展開に目が覚めました。そして，ここからがアルバムの佳境。 「Bloodflows」は，エコーを効かせたヴォーカルと，シンプルだが静謐なシンセが深遠な雰囲気を醸し出しているスローで幕を開け，ノイジーなアップテンポのテクノへ転調していきます。その高揚感がたまりません。「Ransom Notes」は，流麗なアルペジオ・ギターと北風のような寒々としたコーラスが織り成す荒涼とした雰囲気が印象的です。淡々とメロディーを紡ぎながらも悲しげなピアノに内省的な歌声が胸を打つ「Paralysed」や，最初は深々と降る雪のように静かなシンセが，やがて吹雪のように激しく押し寄せてくるノイジーなで悲壮感漂うサウンドへと高まる「Fool」，冬空のような沈鬱なシンセに物憂げな歌声と，足早なビートが対照的で印象的な「Lights」もイイですね。 終盤では，無機質で足早なシンセと冷ややかな歌声が虚無的で孤高を感じさせる「Lessons」が秀逸でしょうか。 万人受けはしないかもしれませんが，エレクトロニックを極めつつ，情感あふれる独創的なサウンドに心を強く揺さぶられるアルバムでした。
