Nov 6, 2014Tremors ultimately flourishes as a dazzling set of pop tracks.
-
Apr 4, 2014While Taylor definite seems to prefer to approach his themes and ideas with a sombre touch, he’s not afraid to whack up the pace a notch or two, and it appears he actively enjoys getting stuck into dissembling standard percussive forces.
-
Q MagazineApr 23, 2014SOHN is partial to sampling his own voice to augment the wounded confessionals. They stutter rhythmically and mix with a patchwork of minimal yet intricate electronics and low end beats to spine-tingling effect. [May 2014, p.118]
-
Apr 11, 2014Tremors makes it clear that he has plenty of his own material to work on. His reliable vocals lead us through the enjoyable confusion that the album establishes, ever cool and whole-hearted, with a genuine sense of emotional investment.
-
Apr 11, 2014Sure to be a hit with the disenfranchised, give the man a single bulb to perform under on stage and fans will be riveted.
-
Apr 10, 2014Even though the chords are minor and the mood sombre, there’s something pure, clean and uncluttered about the record that prevents it from being altogether sad. It breathes.
-
Apr 8, 2014The promise of Sohn’s debut album is that he has still more ideas hiding in the shadows.
-
Apr 7, 2014Overall, this is an excellent album that, like Burial’s Untrue before it, does an uncanny job of submersing you in the sensorium of someone haunted by nights in modern cities.
-
Apr 7, 2014In the end, what keeps Tremors from drowning in its own paralyzed sadness is the feeling that Sohn himself has defeated these dark feelings through the painstaking process of crafting an album so beautiful.
-
UncutApr 2, 2014The Vienna-based Londoner who lurks behind the Sohn alias coins a wintry brand of high-tech electro-soul on this striking debut. [May 2014, p.80]
-
Apr 2, 2014It’s both expressive and inventive while still retaining that alluring degree of mystery.
-
Apr 2, 2014SOHN's essentially written an album's worth of brilliant pop songs.
-
Apr 25, 2014Tremors finds time to be adventurous with its feet firmly planted on the ground; it moves maturely.
-
Apr 4, 2014Tremors manages the feat of being both invigorating and mellow, and no matter how many layers of sound in which the songs find themselves wrapped up, electronic or otherwise, they remain painstakingly personal and human.
-
Apr 17, 2014Sohn casts his falsetto in blues-worthy scenarios--a one-man band balancing songcraft and heady post-dubstep production better than James Blake or Rhye, two inevitable comparisons.
-
Apr 9, 2014Tremors is a flawed debut, ironic given the lyrical content, but it's one that, when properly explored, does have some brilliant moments.
-
Apr 7, 2014Tremors is frustrating. But when the colours align it’s alluring and impressive.
