Lithic is Laura Misch’s immersive new album, a sonic journeythrough stone, water, wind, and lightning. Building on theethereal heights of Sample of Sky and the earthy intimacy ofSample of Earth, Misch conjures music from caves, quarries,rock pools, and coastal edges, merging field recordings withsaxophone, voice, electronics, strings, and percussion. Struckslate, ancient lithophones, hydrophones, and geophonescreate rhythms and textures that feel both primordial andcontemporary. Across London, Cornwall, Hydra, andDungeness, Misch captures the dialogue between human andmore-than-human, crafting a record that resonates like deeptime itself. Lithic is a meditation on nature, aging, andconnection, offering listeners a profound, elemental listeningexperience that is at once visceral, meditative, andelectrifying.The album’s conceptual foundations are inspired by deep listeningpractices, eco- acoustics and geology. Inspired by artists and thinkerssuch as Barbara Hepworth, Pauline Oliveros, Annea Lockwood, eco-psychotherapist and author of Weathering Ruth Allen and DavidHaskell’s writing on the origins and evolution of sound, Lithicconsiders sound as an ancient material itself; something that canshape and transform over time. It is a deeply feminine record, tracingthe rough and soft edges of aging, the weathered lines etched upon aface, the worn fractures in a rockface.
