Socha LP 2×12

Music gives us a place to be lost. Washing away thought, place, time and identity. It’s in the falling into the river, the dream, that we find just who we could be. Classically trained cellist, composer and storyteller Lihla (Lih-Qun Wong) presents her debut album, Socha for A Strangely Isolated Place. Combining a vast instrumental skillset of piano, cello, electronics and spoken word, she crafts intensely immersive aural-hallucinatory worlds of intricately shifting landscapes. A deeply personal work, Socha explores the diaspora of time and space, and why we all feel so displaced. Piano chapters capture the meeting place between memory and longing, while explorational vocal and cello textures invoke and echo the ancient, the feminine, and the otherworldly. Lihla’s voice guides us, weaving through electronics and field recordings of the ‘real-world’ to set the path for a poetic and deeply haunting journey through the internal psyche that is truly transportive and escapist. Socha’ will be available on transparent smoke 12” and digital.
