Upon listening to Margaret Sohn’s first album under the Miss Grit alias, we had to check that it was indeed this young, New York-based Korean-American’s name on the cover, and not Annie Clark’s St. Vincent alias. The resemblance with the latter’s first albums (those guitars on ‘Like You’ and the title track ‘Follow the Cyborg’) jumps right out, but Miss Grit quickly distinguishes herself from her illustrious elder by opting for a more fictional approach—a Sci-Fi one, even. With influences spanning Spike Jonze’s Her, Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, Wong Kar-wai’s Fallen Angels and Rupert Sanders’ Ghost in the Shell as well as Jia Tolentino’s Mirror Games: Reflections on Our Illusions and Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, she approached this album (conceived in isolation during lockdown) with a clear roadmap: ‘I wanted to place my body in the cyber world, allowing the different variations of my ghost to move about freely. I wanted to look a little freakish, unrecognisable to myself to avoid my instinctive filtration.’ The synthetic sounds (reminiscent of new wave or lighter industrial music) in Follow the Cyborg never inhibit the humanity of the singer, who delivers her questions of identity (and not just that of humans) through her fascinating prose. Miss Grit, who grew up in a Michigan suburb before studying music technology at NYU, juggles her fascination for electric guitars (something she certainly has in common with St Vincent, albeit with less of a prog rock approach) and synthesizers to great effect. With the help of a few friends (Stella Mozgawa from Warpaint, Aron Kobayashi Ritch from Momma and the singer Pearla), she picks up a Qobuzissime with Follow the Cyborg—a record which gets more compelling with every listen.
