Laura Misch releases double singles: "Kairos" and "Scrolls" with videos

LAURA MISCH RELEASES DOUBLE SINGLES: “KAIROS” AND “SCROLLS”   FROM HER SECOND ALBUM LITHIC, OUT 5TH JUNE 2026 VIA ONE LITTLE INDEPENDENT RECORDS   WATCH/SHARE THE MUSIC VIDEOS FOR “KAIROS” HERE AND “SCROLLS” HERE   PRE-ORDER LITHIC HERE   Credit: Joya Berrow    “Celebrates a mystical communion of people, nature and art” “So thoroughly envisioned, it’s almost miraculous” March 18, 2026—Laura Misch has shared two new tracks, “Kairos” and “Scrolls”, from her upcoming second album, Lithic, to be released via One Little Independent Records on June 5—watch/share the video for “Kairos” here and for Scrolls here. “Kairos” and “Scrolls” were recorded between an old slate quarry in Cornwall, and the Aegean sea on the island of hydra, featuring an 180-year-old stone lithophone, the Musical Stones of Skiddaw, woven with the wind, sea, and temperate rainforest rain. “Kairos” encompasses the central theme of the album: time. The antithesis of mechanical chronos time, kairos in ancient Greek, represents the slow shaping of the world over time; an immovable stone constantly battling wind, sea, and pressure becomes reformed.  Lithic is a cave borne out of emotion and elemental force. Sound and existential thought echo through its chasms, while ancient history lingers within the stone. Fractured by age, eroded by weather, and awakened by voice, body and breath, the album traces sound back to its primal origins - unearthing music summoned from beneath the ground and from the darkest parts of ourselves. Where Misch’s acclaimed debut Sample the Sky (2023) floated above ground in clouds of sound - followed by its acoustic counterpart Sample the Earth (2024) - Lithic journeys downward through deep time, informed by geology and the elemental forces of wind, water and stone. The album’s conceptual foundations draw on deep listening practices, eco-acoustics and geology. Inspired by artists and thinkers such as Barbara Hepworth, Pauline Oliveros, Annea Lockwood, eco- psychotherapist and author of Weathering Ruth Allen, and David Haskell’s writing on the origins and evolution of sound, Lithic considers sound as an ancient material, something that can shape, weather and transform over time. It is a deeply feminine record, tracing the rough and soft edges of ageing: the weathered lines etched upon a face, the worn fractures in a rockface. Defined as “of the nature of or relating to stone,” Lithic holds both grief and hope, swaying between melancholia and euphoria. It offers a moment to listen deeply and reconnect with our shared ancestries in a fractured time.   Credits Produced by Laura Misch and Matt Karmil  Vocals, saxophone, synthesis and electronics by Laura Misch  Live drums by Matt Davies Programmed drums by Matt Karmil Mixed by Matt Karmil | Mastered by Erik Breuer Lithic Creative Direction by Laura Misch and Joya Berrow  Artwork photographed by Joya Berrow   Listening parties  28th May - Helm Studios, London   See Laura Misch live 3 July - Barbican, London, UK - Tickets     ‘Lithic’ Artwork by Joya Berrow    TRACKLIST LITHIC 1.
