SOHN arrives onstage with little fanfare. Accompanied by his drummer, he takes his place with his instruments – a simple synthesiser setup – and proceeds to welcome in the drawing Saturday evening.
A series of vocals ring out as SOHN gets comfortable, ready to do what he does best – craft thick, brass songs out of just two people. The drums hit harder than ever, reverberating through every attendee within the BBC Tent. SOHN’s angelic voice somehow manages to convey every feeling there is, while the musical accompaniment is confident, flowing through his very essence.
The magic is unrelenting and completely unforgettable. SOHN is a purveyor of massive beats and swirling sounds that refuse to let you go, even as the setting Suffolk sun beckons through the massive tent’s entrance.
