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, on CD and double black LP in Gatefold cover with a special embossing artwork.
The previous albums 'Narrow' (2012) and 'From Gas to Solid / You Are My Friend' (2018) also featured covers without being immediately recognized as such.
“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'.
