Soap and Skin

Get the kids these days eh? Not content with being better at everything than you were at their age, they are now stupidly tech savvy and bursting with mature self-confidence. Take Anja Plaschg for instance.

Recording under the moniker Soap and Skin, the 18-year old Icelander has appeared on the music scene quietly and methodically. Her debut 'Lovetune For Vacuum' comes out on the 14th April. It's full of brooding drama and sparse dynamics and I just can't stop listening to the track Thanatos. It's like being whisked away to a Transylvanian castle by a sexy witch who wants to drink your blood; kinda scary and fantastic at the same time.

You can hear the aforementioned Thanatos on her myspace page here.
