Loud And Quiet
SOHN’s nearest sonic neighbour is James Blake, but for all their similarities in song construction, ‘Rennen’ sits in stark contrast to Blake’s rambling album from 2016

Uncut
It seems relocating from Vienna to L.A., getting married and becoming a father has nudged the British-born producer-performer closer to conventional R&B electro-pop with mostly positive results. Print edition only

The 405
SOHN doesn’t drown on Rennen, nor does he tread water, sticking within the confines of the music he’s already created. Rennen is SOHN diving into new creative depths, and triumphing

PopMatters
If at times Rennen suffers under the weight of its own trendiness, it finds redemption in SOHN's unmistakable craftsmanship and ear for nuance

Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that Sohn hasn't pushed his musical boundaries further; perhaps next time he will completely run wild

God Is In The TV
Rennen is genuinely an album of two halves; a mixture of sublime production and a rather frustrating wail-inflected vocal which can be off-putting

Drowned In Sound
It opens with energy, before you hit a mental wall in the middle, and then the end comes with that beautiful mixture of accomplishment, and happiness, when you’re happy you’ve pushed through and got to this point

It’s well-produced, clean and unobjectionable. Rennen fits this bill nicely, if that’s what you’re looking for. But regardless of whether it’s something you want, it’s nothing you need
