Skin Flutes & Velvet Gloves

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.

Crafting melancholic electronic pop inspired by Scandinavian balearic music, 80s synth pop and 00’s music like Hot Chip, Junior Boys or Chromatics. Pink Gloves is the project of Petr Pliska from Prague, Czech Republic. Since 17 he has been obsessed by discovering music. When he was 20, he established his first band which was hugely influenced by britpop. For almost ten years he’s been writting about new music on his blog. In 2013 he started his project Pink Gloves, which is named after the song by Pulp. His music mostly reflects nostalgia, loneliness, daydreaming and escapism.

A Knitter's Guide to Gloves introduces several construction techniques, alongside the possible materials and tools that are suitable for knitting the gloves you want. A chapter on design guides you through adapting and customising your glove knitting before outlining how to go about designing from personal inspiration. The book also traces the history of knitted gloves and is lavishly illustrated with examples from museum collections, some of which are rare or even unique.
