Follow the Cyborg has been named one of Rough Trade’s ‘Albums of the Year,’ and is out now via Mute. The EP features reworkings and remixes from Gilla Band’s Alan Duggan-Borges, who reinterprets the Korean language version of “Follow The Cyborg,” NY-based producer, and composer Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma), transdisciplinary artist Yaz Lancaster who recently performed with Miss Grit on their Stephen Colbert web performance, composer and visual artist Phong Tran, Kenyan composer and performer Nyokabi Kariũki, and NY-based hyperpop artists torr and Cyber Fairy. Follow the Cyborg features 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) “Like You.” 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 pursues the path of a non-human machine, as it moves from its helpless origin to awareness and liberation. 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. 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 REMIX EP TRACK LISTING: Download hi-res images and jpegs of Miss Grit
