Photo Credit: Hoseon Sohn Today 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.
Listen to the remixes here:
“Lain (phone clone) (Yaz Lancaster Remix)”
“Nothing's Wrong (Phong Tran Remix)”
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.” Purchase the compilation HERE. 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. Hailed by Rolling Stone as an “inventive, incisive singer-songwriter”, their process is introspective, their vision precise. In their exploration of the life of a cyborg, they subtly and overtly refer to films, including Her, Ex Machina, and Ghost in the Shell, as well as essays by Jia Tolentino (from Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion) and Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto.

^ supporting Nation of Language Praise for Miss Grit & Follow The Cyborg “Follow The Cyborg [is] an album of sleek electronica-laced indie rock that doesn't skimp on the anthemic moments." — FADER
"Follow the Cyborg [is] a focused, cohesive album by an artist who sounds wise beyond their years." — Brooklyn Vegan "On Follow the Cyborg, Miss Grit's first full-length release, every detail feels intentional. Collages of electronic glitches, soaring synths, and searing shoegaze guitars coalesce into surprisingly accessible pop songs." - BUST " . . . at once dreamy and haunting. ['Nothing's Wrong'] opens with creeping guitar and laidback percussion, progressing into Sohn’s gentle vocals and shimmering instrumentation." - Cool Hunting "Follow the Cyborg is a complicated web of fluorescent-lit backing vocals, drudging guitar crunch, darting orchestral strings, and 2000s Brit-pop percussion.” — FLOOD
"These songs are the sonic equivalent of astral projecting, with each melody added or drum pattern dropped you are transported to a different area of your imagination." — Glide
“Follow the Cyborg’s gripping, sweeping music, which is as technically dazzling as it is incessantly replayable. Turbo-charged guitars rush in out of nowhere. Gray synthetic soundscapes introduce hypnotic states. Saxophones and strings breathe fresh air into the electronics.” — MTV
"While [Follow The Cyborg] fits neatly into the indie-pop landscape, its songs don’t rely on repeated hooks, unfurling organically." — Slant
