Artist History Based out of the United Kingdon, SOMA have recently completed work on their second full length album "black rock city star". Richard Haines, Josie Webber and Bob Prowse provide the ambient audio nucleus around which Laura Kramer's haunting voice is woven. There is a sense of expectancy and majesty while listening to SOMA, of becoming an intricate part of the creative process. The music allows you to create your own sound-scape within its confines. The beauty of SOMA's songs and arrangements stem from their powerful restraint, an approach that almost begs the listener to give of himself and once the song ends, there is no choice but to listen again. Their self titled debut album released in 1998 is now available exclusively through mp3.com. The latest release- "black rock city star" is available for sale at OMN and CDBaby. You can listen to mp3's of both albums here at mp3.com.

Press Reviews "Moody, melodic, and captivating. Beautiful subtlety at work with a female vocal that captures the real essence of the songs and never falls into cliche. Recommended to the highest degree."
