Sohn Announces Tour + Premieres ‘Tempest”

Sohn Announces Tour + Premieres 'Tempest". His debut album will be coming out this spring on 4AD. SOHN plays 5/7 in Washington, DC at Rock & Roll Hotel.

SOHN has announced a Spring tour of the UK, Europe and his first headlining tour across North America.

Recently, the London native stepped in front of the camera for the first time to perform a unplugged rendition of ‘Tempest’, a new song that will feature on his upcoming debut album. The black and white clip was created by Austrian filmmaker and photographer Andreas Waldschuetz. Choosing the Casino Baumgarten in Vienna (SOHN’s adopted home) as the backdrop for ‘Tempest’, Waldschuetz captured a side of SOHN that has rarely been seen. Here a solo SOHN displays his musical dexterity on grand piano as his voice echoes around the lofty acoustics of the 19th Century ballroom.

Waldschuetz says, “I’ve known SOHN for a few years, and I wanted to capture a performance that is as intimate and delicate as the track itself. My aim was to make it feel like you, the viewer, are standing in the same room with SOHN. My main inspiration comes from surrealism; I love to change perspectives of things, working with different tools and gadgets to destroy a picture. Everything you see in the video happened on set, there were no special effects added in post-production.”

Best known for his singles ‘The Wheel’, ‘Bloodflows’ and ‘Lessons’ along with remixes for Lana Del Rey, Disclosure, Angel Haze, Rhye and more, SOHN is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut album and recently has gone into the studio to produce for Miguel, Banks, SZA and more to be announced soon.
