Lithic is a cave borne out of emotions and elemental forces. Sound and existential thought echo through its chasms and ancient history lingers within the stone. It is fractured by age, eroded by weather and awakened by voice, body and breath. It traces sound back to its primal origins, unearthing music that is summoned from beneath the ground and from the darkest parts of ourselves. London-based saxophonist, producer, singer-songwriter and field recordist Laura Misch’s acclaimed debut album Sample The Sky (2023) suspends high above ground in clouds of sound, followed by its acoustic sister-album Sample The Earth (2024) reimagined and regrown amongst the soil. Her forthcoming new album Lithic (2026) is informed by stone, water, lightning and wind, journeying through deep time and into the murky depths of the psyche in the dawn of a new sonic Stone Age.
