New York-based musician Margaret Sohn – aka Miss Grit (they/she) – is a bold experimentalist and architect of sculptural texture. They’re known for deftly moving between analogue and digital, guitar and synths, and creating an immersive cosmos of sound with futuristic frameworks for their searching introspection. On their acclaimed 2023 debut, Follow The Cyborg, they built a fluid future beyond the gender and genre binaries, where a non-human machine goes in pursuit of liberation. For this year’s follow up, however, Sohn has powered down the android and turned the search inward. Under My Umbrella lifts the lid on the Korean-American artist’s internal world, lasering in on the anxieties and heartbreak of the past two years. The title is a nod to the iconic Rihanna song and embraces Sohn “…letting people in more on this record and trying not to shy away from that. I’m leaving the cyborg behind, I’m letting it all out.”
