SOHN - Signal

SOHN’s debut album ‘Tremors’ was an icy collection of soul-tinged, downbeat cuts. New track ‘Signal’, his first in two years, doesn’t stray far from this path. As with ‘Tremors’, SOHN’s vocals are absolutely at the fore, and he remains firmly a singer over a producer, despite the tags he is given.

‘Signal’ rises and falls with grace like the very best moments of ‘Tremors’, but progression can still be seen - the track feels more fully-formed, with warmer textures coming through, when moments of ‘Tremors’ felt cold and hollow.

Far from a reinvention, ‘Signal’ sees SOHN refining the ideas that made ‘Tremors’ such a brilliant and promising debut, with new ideas and sounds still managing to peek above the parapet. It’s not a surprise, but everything you could want from a return.
