Soap&Skin releases her first cover album Torso. 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 is now released as the album Torso. 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.

Other new interpretations are Cat Power's "Maybe Not", David Bowie's "Girl Loves Me", Tom Waits' "Johnsburg, Illinois", Janis Ian's "Stars" and "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground among others.
