Playing a style of electronica dubbed "indietronica" by the press,
Ms. John Soda began as a solo project for
Couch keyboardist Stephanie Böhm. She was soon joined by
Notwist and
Tied + Tickled Trio bassist
Micha Acher.
Ms. John Soda finds the two Weilheim, Germany, musicians seamlessly collaborating (Böhm takes vocals, while
Acher moves to programming) to produce a very lush sound that won them fans on both sides of the Atlantic. The duo broke into the scene in 2002 with their record
No P. or D. on Morr Music, a German electronica label, and in 2003 came out with a five-song EP,
While Talking. In 2006,
Ms. John Soda released the full-length album
Notes and the Like. After a long break of almost a decade, the band returned with a new album for Morr Music titled
Loom. Released in late 2015, the record featured contributions from two new bandmembers, drummer Thomas Geltinger (
Couch) and multi-instrumentalist
Cico Beck (
Aloa Input). ~ Marisa Brown
