Soap&Skin released her first cover album “TORSO” on November 22nd via Play It Again Sam.
Anja Plaschg alias Soap&Skin has always had a special talent for reinterpreting songs with her own unique approach. When the Donau-Festival invited her in 2022 to perform all the cover songs she had composed over the years, she came up with the idea of a permanent collection - which will now be released as the album "TORSO" on November 22nd via Play It Again Sam. The previous albums "Narrow" (2012) and "From Gas to Solid / You Are My Friend" (2018) also featured covers without being immediately recognized as such. Simply because “it feels good to escape from myself”, says Plaschg. She likes covers - quite literally as a disguise and hiding place.
For example, she first recorded the radio hit “Voyage, Voyage”, originally by Desireless, in 2011 for the soundtrack to Sebastian Meise's film Stillleben. Since then, it has been part of her live repertoire and has grown with her over the years. On "TORSO" it finds its place as a lifetime version.The first single, the album opener “Mystery of Love”, originally released by Sufjan Stevens, rearranged with French horn and trombone, admits us delicately into the sound world of "TORSO".
“I hear a song,” adds Anja, “and feel there's something else I'd like to add. Then I don't listen to the original. Sometimes not for years. I record the songs from memory.” So she hasn't heard The Doors' "The End" for over seven years now. An old favorite song, a little time capsule. Similar to Shirley Bassey's "Born To Lose".
