About

The pioneering quartet Sō Percussion have been rewriting the musical rulebook for over two decades, and in Pulitzer-Prize winning composer, violinist, vocalist and producer Caroline Shaw they find a kindred spirit.

Their jointly-written Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part is a collection of songs that enriches both of their musical and spiritual homelands and propagates something thrillingly new. They draw on shared cultural passions from James Joyce to ABBA's Lay All Your Love on Me, the sacred harp tradition to medieval plainchant. The resulting sonic adventure is an engaging blend of intricate precision and freewheeling spontaneity, taut interlocking rhythms, and ruminative spirituality. Featuring Shaw herself on vocals and a nearly endless menagerie of percussion instruments, including keyboards, steel drums, electronics, tuned flower pots and musical toys. This is bold, genre-defying, warm-hearted and stunningly original.
