Anja Plaschg alias Soap & Skin has always had a special talent for reinterpreting songs with her own unique approach. When the Donau-Festival invited her in 2022 to perform all the cover songs she had composed over the years, she came up with the idea of a permanent collection - which will now be released as the album 'TORSO' on November 22nd via Play It Again Sam. The previous albums 'Narrow' (2012) and 'From Gas to Solid/You Are My Friend' (2018) also featured covers without being immediately recognized as such. Simply because 'it feels good to escape from myself', says Plaschg. She likes covers - quite literally as a disguise and hiding place.
