Influenced by the experimental electronica of
Aphex Twin and
Autechre, and the art rock of '60s icon
Nico,
Lovetune for Vaccum is the highly inventive debut album from Austrian singer/songwriter
Anja Plaschg, aka,
Soap & Skin. Its 13 neo-classical and dark ambient self-penned tracks include the singles "Spiracle," "Mr. Gaunt Pt 1000," and "Cynthia." [A deluxe edition, featuring two bonus tracks, "Imdorfe" and "Fleischwolf," was also released.] ~ Jon O'Brien
