Soela—the DJ-production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based pianist and vocalist—will release a new album on Francis Harris‘ Scissor and Thread.
Having released material on such labels including Kompakt, Lawrence‘s Dial, and Shall Not Fade, Shorokhova joins the ranks of the Brooklyn, New York label for this “exquisite album,” we’re told.
Across Dark Portrait, a “complex mix” of emotions plays out with tracks that utilize Shorokhova’s musicality and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes, and lose-yourself dancefloor moments.
