About
Sid The Cat Presents Miss Grit 5/2/2026 at Scribble New York-based musician Margaret Sohn – aka Miss Grit (they/she) – is a bold experimentalist and architect of sculptural texture. They’re known for deftly moving between analogue and digital, guitar and synths, and creating an immersive cosmos of sound with futuristic frameworks for their searching introspection. On their acclaimed 2023 debut, Follow The Cyborg, they built a fluid future beyond the gender and genre binaries, where a non-human machine goes in pursuit of liberation. For this year’s follow up, however, Sohn has powered down the android and turned the search inward. Under My Umbrella lifts the lid on the Korean-American artist’s internal world, lasering in on the anxieties and heartbreak of the past two years. The title is a nod to the iconic Rihanna song and embraces Sohn “letting people in more on this record and trying not to shy away from that. The cyborg is shutting down – I’m letting it all out.” The result is as immersive and expansive as it is intimate. Under My Umbrella channels the noirish atmosphere of classic trip-hop bands, while adding a hefty dose of maximalism and a dream-pop sensibility. Storming opener ‘Tourist Mind’ signals this stunning gear shift, a magnificent techno stomper with stirring strings, smacking drums and hazy atmosphere. On it, Sohn embraces the power and intimacy of self-reliance and solitude, singing “I’ve never wanted to be so alone”. The album pinpoints the grey area between fragility and darkness, ethereal lightness and brooding, murky undertow, while packing a hefty punch.
