Miss Grit — the project of New York-based, Korean-American musician Margaret Sohn (they/she) — releases a new track, ‘Mind Disaster’, the latest to be taken from their forthcoming  album,  Under My Umbrella, will be released on 24th April 2026 via Mute Records. Following the “trippy, futuristic electronica,” (The Forty Five) of ‘Tourist Mind’ and the “dreamy electro-pop track,” (Stereogum) ‘Stranger’, ‘Mind Disaster’ is a warped lullaby that swells and swoops with fizzing drums. dramatic choir pads, a heady electronic pulse, and euphoric synths, evoking a raw electronic sound. It’s about trying to wrestle free of the social anxiety that comes with being overwhelmed by others.

Margaret describes ‘Mind Disaster’ as, “the one that really helped create the palette for the rest of the album for me. It’s my favourite instrumental on the record and so many good friends helped make it happen.” Some of those friends include electronic visionary and film scorer Sae Heum Han (mph), producer Luciano Rossi (Mui Zyu), drummer Preston Fulks (Momma), and Aron Kobayashi Ritch(Momma), who mixed the whole record.  

Sohn is a bold instrumentalist and architect of scultural texture, known for deftly moving between analogue and digital, guitar and synths, and creating an immersive cosmos of sound with futuristic frameworks for their searching introspection. For their second full-length album, Under My Umbrella, they’ve lifted the lid on their internal world, lasering in on the anxieties and heartbreak of the past two years. It’s an album that is as immersive and expansive as it is intimate, channelling the noirish atmosphere of classic trip-hop bands, while adding a hefty dose of maximalism and a dream-pop sensibility.

Under My Umbrella began to take shape when Sohn returned from an intense touring schedule where they’d driven themself around North America totally alone. When they returned home, Sohn found themselves yearning to capture that specific, less restrained energy of playing live. Like Follow The Cyborg, its creation mostly took place in Sohn’s Queens apartment. The music came to them quickly, streams of consciousness with one new guiding principle: don’t overthink it. “I tried not to edit too much or force a moment to happen,” they explain, leaning into big choruses where it felt right. Some guitar sounds were first takes, ditto vocals, thus preserving the immediacy and authenticity of the emotion. As such, it’s a densely layered album, charged with electric crescendos that build to moments of unbridled catharsis. “It feels truer to myself, and more of a representation of what is actually coming out of me,” says Sohn.

Miss Grit will play record release shows in New York City on Friday, April 24th at Nightclub 101 and Los Angeles on Saturday, May 2nd at Scribble. Sohn will appear at Rough Trade in New York for an acoustic set and signing on April 23..

Under My Umbrella is released on limited-edition crystal-clear vinyl, CD and digitally on 24 April 2026. Pre-order HERE
