Lithic - CD

2026 release. Lithic is Laura Misch's immersive new album, a sonic journey through stone, water, wind, and lightning. Building on the ethereal heights of Sample of Sky and the earthy intimacy of Sample of Earth, Misch conjures music from caves, quarries, rock pools, and coastal edges, merging field recordings with saxophone, voice, electronics, strings, and percussion. Struck slate, ancient lithophones, hydrophones, and geophones create rhythms and textures that feel both primordial and contemporary. Across London, Cornwall, Hydra, and Dungeness, Misch captures the dialogue between human and more-than-human, crafting a record that resonates like deep time itself. Lithic is a meditation on nature, aging, and connection, offering listeners a profound, elemental listening experience that is at once visceral, meditative, and electrifying.
