My Take
What draws me to Soap&Skin is the refusal to perform comfort. Anja Plaschg builds music from raw nerve and piano, and her work feels less like entertainment than confession. That she expanded into acting and earned an Austrian Best Actress award in 2024 tells me she is an artist who follows the truth of a moment wherever it leads, across mediums. I respect performers who would rather be honest than likeable, and she sits firmly in that camp. In an industry that rewards polish, her willingness to stay fragile and strange is exactly what makes her worth returning to.
