Dark, haunting lyrics sung over fragile piano chords and sparse machine beats make up the compositions of Soap&Skin, the project of classically trained pianist Anja Plaschg. Selling out solo concerts at the age of 18 on the basis of only one released song, '
Mr Gaunt Pt. 1000' on Berlin's
Shitkatapult, has Plaschg tipped as the single most significant talent in Austrian pop music for decades. Her debut album '
Lovetune for Vacuum' has appeared on
[PIAS] Recordings in spring 2009 to international acclaim.
