As you may have gathered from the photograph, Anja Plaschg isn't the happiest of campers. The 18-year-old's stern Soap&Skin project wilts the soul with an eery, monochromatic misery somewhere between archetypal pop shrewishness and windswept post-rock; "The Sun" all doomed piano and ragged guitars, lyrics with nagging references to black holes and imminent death. It's as masterful a rendering of gloom as you'd expect from someone who'd grown up punk on an Austrian pig farm.  The consensus seems to be that Plaschg might just be something of a genius - her debut album will look to reinforce that view upon its release next Monday, April 13 through PIAS.
