Laura Misch sounds like she has eavesdropped on the inner dialogue of individuals who are harshly self-critical and offered them a space of solace for her new track "Soften".

The new album Laura Misch recently announced Lithic has been tied together by grey, somewhat melancholic artwork and an incredibly minimalist aesthetic - I am SO excited for it. It really feels like she has unlocked the intersection between jazz, r&b, and ambient music in a manner that's emotionally gripping AND without heavy reliance on synthesizers. All the releases so far sound organic and minimal, just like "Soften". This combination has created an effect where her vocals pull us into their orbit while her songwriting grounds the experience in vulnerability and poetic reflection. Pianos glisten in the background, and her signature sax serves as the melodic lead that'll linger in your head for hours on end.
