SOAP&SKIN - TORSO Vinyl LP

According to Plaschg a.k.a. Soap & Skin, there have always been cover versions in her repertoire simply because "it feels good to escape from myself". Without it being immediately recognized as such, there's been a cover on every Soap & Skin album since 2012's Narrow, Plaschg's tentacles extending through every piece. Torso, if you like, is an exhibition of what lies behind the masks of others. The covers album was recorded in Vienna by an ensemble under her direction. "For the first time," she adds. "It's actually more my style to assemble the music in a safe space, alone at home, from previously recorded samples." Still, maybe what is created collaboratively must be recorded collaboratively too. No artist in the world covers music as movingly as Soap & Skin.
