Miss Grit – the New York-based Korean-American artist Margaret Sohn – has released the digital single “Tourist Mind” via Mute. The track blends trip-hop-leaning atmosphere with maximalist electronics and dream-pop textures.
The song arrives as Grit’s first new music since the 2023 debut album “Follow the Cyborg”, issued on Mute. That album established Sohn’s shift toward deeper electronic production while retaining guitar-driven dynamics.
“Tourist Mind” explores the pull of other people’s inner worlds and the difficulty of returning to oneself. “It’s about how curiosity for other people’s thoughts can slowly disorient you and make it harder to return to yourself,” Sohn stated. Note that the single also includes the refrain, “I’ve never wanted to be so alone.”
About Miss Grit
Miss Grit is the project of New York-based, Korean-American musician Margaret (Dewey) Sohn. She was raised in Michigan and is now based in Queens, New York.
After studying music technology at NYU, Sohn self-released the EP “Talk Talk” (2019) and the EP “Impostor” (2021). Signing to Mute, Sohn released the debut full-length “Follow the Cyborg” on February 24, 2023, self-producing the record in New York and expanding into a more electronic palette.
You can situate her work as a blend of electronic, indie pop, and indie rock.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
