“[Impostor is a] sonically wonderful self-produced 6-song EP” – NPR Music

“One of the most exciting tone savants we’ve heard this side of St. Vincent.” – Guitar World 

“‘Impostor’ once more burns away the idea that Miss Grit isn’t what Sohn is supposed to be putting her energy into. The track is at once airy and a big, buzzing thing full of twinkling synth notes and squelching guitar distortion.” – Stereogum

“[‘Impostor’] finds Sohn calling herself out as a fraud over big, gnarled guitars and sparkling keyboard runs, her reedy vocals leaving (or perhaps expunging) emotional bruises…Songs like this one will prove Miss Grit wrong in a hurry.” – Paste

Miss Grit, moniker of Korean-American musician Margaret Sohn, will release her Impostor EP this Friday. Today, she presents a new single, ‘Grow Up To’, following the title track and lead single ‘Dark Side Of The Party’. ‘Grow Up To’ opens with buzzing, droning guitar and Sohn’s evocative lyricism: “When I fall dead I’ll still crave the next place all the same // And in the morning I will wait till it’s late for my fate, resuscitate.” As she repeatedly chants “grow up to,” the song expands with thunderous drums and rising guitar.

‘Grow Up To’ is exemplary of Sohn’s dramatic shifts in sound, showing her technical prowess as a guitarist and melodist. “Grow up to, grow up to, grow up to is my ongoing obsession with what’s next,” says Sohn. “The lack of content with the present leads to the chaos and collapse of this song.”

Sohn makes relatable songs that masterfully dissect the feeling of self-doubt. Impostor addresses her life-long navigation through the racial impostor syndrome she experienced as a half-Korean girl growing up in the white space of the Michigan suburbs and explores the titular impostor syndrome that so often characterizes the insecurities of the early 20s. Not even a move to New York City, where she studied music technology at NYU and began to dream of creating effects pedals for a living, could ease her internal conflict. Part of that uneasiness for Sohn was her initial success with debut EP Talk Talk and the feeling “she was someone who was impersonating a musician.” Her solution was producing Impostor by herself at Brooklyn’s Virtue and Vice Studios so that she had complete creative control.

Miss Grit is a project that allows Sohn to break through self-bias, creating a version of herself that doesn’t need to be limited. Expressing herself through her powerful, confident music while still being vulnerable about her insecurities is a dynamic that characterizes her work, with all of its pushes and pulls of emotion. Ultimately, Sohn says, the Impostor EP is about feeling self-doubt, working through it with music, and letting it all subside. It’s a six song collection that’s more cathartic, resolute, and fully documents the array of talents she brings as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer.
