SOHN - New Album 'Rennen', Plus 'Conrad' Video & Dates
SOHN : New Album 'Rennen', Plus 'Conrad' Video & Dates
7th November 2016

Two years after the release of his celebrated debut album Tremors, SOHN has confirmed details for its follow-up, along with new song ‘Conrad’ and 2017 tour dates.

Entitled Rennen, the new SOHN album will be released on 13th January 2017.  The London-born artist has traded Vienna for the warmth of Los Angeles, but the influence of his former home still lingers (Rennen is a German verb meaning ‘to run’).  Resuming a nocturnal schedule – as he did with Tremors – SOHN spent a month writing alone in northern California, recording until the morning most days.  The ten songs of Rennen are confidently direct and focused.  Consciously exercising restraint SOHN used only a handful of musical elements on each track, eager to allow the spotlight to shine on the vocals, melodies and rhythms.

Premiered earlier tonight on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's Hottest Record, ‘Conrad’ is a second taste of Rennen, following on from the single ‘Signal’ (accompanied by a video directed by and starring Milla Jovovich).  With ‘Conrad’, SOHN touches on the pervading mood of a precarious political climate, whilst making use of a variety of empty glass bottles, kitchen utensils, walls and floors for percussion.  You can watch the video above, or stream here.
