The 405

Narrow is an album to be endured more than enjoyed, a work of serious art not entertainment.

Narrow takes harrowing experiences and pain and transforms them into beautifully cathartic lullabies.

Drowned in Sound

Behold Anja Plaschg, who you will worship as Soap & Skin, for she is the new Queen of Singing Sad Piano-Based Songs.

NME

‘Narrow’ is claustrophobically intense, and yet this emotional pressure has focused her artistically, her sound honed down to minimal, piano-driven songcraft with irruptions of grating digital noise.

Haunting, beautiful, despondent, but also a little too short. I would've liked like 5 more songs, the brevity just works against it in the long run.

a beautifully disturbing, dense and devastating work

An evocative and chilling record from the Austrian song/writer. The album is seep with soothing piano playing with touches of electronics and industrial layered in the mix.
