LAURA MISCH 8211 Lithic 8211 LP 8211 Black Vinyl JUN 5

Description:

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl. Lithic is Laura Mischs immersive new album, a sonic journey through stone, water, wind, and lightning. Building on the ethereal heights of Sample of Sky and the earthy intimacy of Sample of Earth, Misch conjures music from caves, quarries, rock pools, and coastal edges, merging field recordings with saxophone, voice, electronics, strings, and percussion. Struck slate, ancient lithophones, hydrophones, and geophones create rhythms and textures that feel both primordial and contemporary. Across London, Cornwall, Hydra, and Dungeness, Misch captures the dialogue between human and more-than-human, crafting a record that resonates like deep time itself. Lithic is a meditation on nature, aging, and connection, offering listeners a profound, elemental listening experience that is at once visceral, meditative, and electrifying. The albums conceptual foundations are inspired by deep listening practices, eco- acoustics and geology. Inspired by artists and thinkers such as Barbara Hepworth, Pauline Oliveros, Annea Lockwood, eco-psychotherapist and author of Weathering Ruth Allen and David Haskells writing on the origins and evolution of sound, Lithic considers sound as an ancient material itself; something that can shape and transform over time. It is a deeply feminine record, tracing the rough and soft edges of aging, the weathered lines etched upon a face, the worn fractures in a rockface.
