Miss Grit (aka Margaret Sohn) is someone who often finds themself intrigued by other people’s inner worlds. With ‘Tourist Mind’, they meditate on the idea of self-erasure, and embrace the power and intimacy of self-reliance and solitude, singing: “I’ve never wanted to be so alone.”
“It’s about how curiosity for other people’s thoughts can slowly disorient you and make it harder to return to yourself.”
‘Tourist Mind’ finds Sohn channeling the noirish atmosphere of classic trip-hop while adding a hefty dose of maximalism and a dream-pop sensibility. The result is a magnificent techno stomper with stirring strings, smacking drums and a hazy atmosphere — out on Mute.
