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. For example, she first recorded the radio hit "Voyage, Voyage", originally by Desireless, in 2011 for the soundtrack to Sebastian Meise's film Stillleben. Since then, it has been part of her live repertoire and has grown with her over the years. On "TORSO" it finds its place as a lifetime version.The first single, the album opener "Mystery of Love", originally released by Sufjan Stevens, rearranged with French horn and trombone, admits us delicately into the sound world of "TORSO". The lyric video released with the single also visually refers to the album artwork. The Oscar- and Grammy-nominated song originally appeared exclusively in 2017 on the soundtrack of the coming-of-age drama and indie hit film "Call Me By Your Name" by Luca Guadagnino, with lyrics that allude to the very special, intimate relationship between the film characters Elio and Oliver. :. . |. . .: |: _:_____ __ _ ___ _ _______$$ || : | $$$$$ $| : $$$$$ the posse '96 |: . $$$$$ salutes |. $$$$$ | ______$$$$$_____ ___ __ _ _| ___ _ |. six a.m. corporate media machine doesnt stop || talking about just another war somewhere. neon || sunrise crushing through grey clouds. industrial |: wasteland. dry burned eyes mirroring white lines. |. in front of this machine for hours now. was it : days? caffeine, nicotine, amphetamine. getting : stats up. trans atlantic glide. ice cold . technology versus the weakness of the human flesh. digital deconstruction. we love this game and salute everybody who is there since the glory days of the baud! _,_ _________________ ___ __ _ | $$$$$' : remeber to call our $$$$$ ______ . worldwide boards $$$$$__$$$$' , $$C' ' :. |. || || |: |. : : .
