MISS GRIT, aka New York-based musician Margaret Sohn, has shared two new remixes from their recently-released debut album, Follow the Cyborg, that is out now on Mute. The first, from New York-based transdisciplinary artist, Yaz Lancaster (they/them) who recently performed with Miss Grit on their Stephen Colbert #LateShowMeMusic web performance, and the second, from Brooklyn-based composer and visual artist who recently performed with Miss Grit on their European tour, Phong Tran.
Both tracks are remixes of tracks from Miss Grit’s recently released debut album, Follow the Cyborg and follow remixes by Gilla Band’s Alan Duggan-Borges (“사이보그를 따라와”), and composer and producer Aron Kobayashi Ritch (“Perfect Blue”).
Miss Grit’s North American tour with Nation of Language continues with dates running through to the beginning of December. Full dates are listed below.
Miss Grit also recently participated in Fader & Friends Vol. 1, the FADER’s 44 song compilation to benefit transgender charities, contributing a cover of The Breeder’s “Off You.”
Across their debut album, Follow the Cyborg, featuring the acclaimed singles “Follow the Cyborg”, praised by Pitchfork for its “adrenaline high” and “electronic dissonance.”, “Nothing’s Wrong”, “Lain (Phone Clone)”, and the “beguiling and elastic” (Stereogum) single “Like You”, Miss Grit (they/she), pursues the path of a non-human machine, as it moves from its helpless origin to awareness and liberation. At times gentle and sparse, at others volatile and explosive, Follow the Cyborg occupies a sonic world of electronic experimentation and stirring electric guitars. It was recorded mostly in solitude in Sohn’s home studio, with the exception of a few guest collaborators joining: Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint, Aron Kobayashi Ritch of Momma, and Pearla.
Miss Grit’s impetus to conceive an album about the life of a cyborg stems from their own connection to this way of existing. Sohn has always rejected the limits of identity thrust upon them by the outside world, in favor of embracing a more fluid and complex understanding of the self.
