SOHN

Overview

Playing a string of intimate gigs in Melbourne and Sydney, European buzz boy SOHN (aka Christopher Taylor) is embarking on his first ever Australian tour this month. Though you may not have heard too much from him now, we highly recommend jumping on tickets. This guy's about to blow up in a big way, and you'll probably be paying double in a year's time for his sell-out gigs at The Forum.

Having just released his debut album Tremors, SOHN is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who specialises in hypnotic electro beats. Perfect for your average chill session, SOHN's music lies somewhere between the moody vocals of James Blake and the precise repetitive grooves of Alt-J. And, if you ask us, that's a surefire recipe for success.

As a London expat now living in Vienna, there's also a great deal of place reflected in his music. SOHN reportedly recorded every song on the album entirely at night, then took a long walk at sunrise through the city to clear his head. As a result of this, Tremors has been described as the perfect blend of London's buzzing hubbub and Vienna's iconic serenity. Tracks like 'Artifice' and 'The Wheel' show this perfectly — some great listening for your evening stroll to his gig.
