Her new album 'Great Doubt' (Escho, 2024) is an addictive collection of chamber pop miniatures that melds her intimate, unadorned vocals with woozy electronics, understated string/piano arrangements and raw, unprocessed programming.

Astrid Sonne is a Danish artist, composer, producer and viola player, currently based in London.
"Sonne manipulates stray elements of 20th-century modernism and beyond to illuminate her curious, elliptical songs... pioneering a gloriously odd, twitchy, off-kilter form of R&B" — The Guardian
"a strange, deeply captivating album... and a major step forward for her work" — Philip Sherburne (Pitchfork)
'Great Doubt' follows an already acclaimed discography — 'Outside Of Your Lifetime', 'Cliodynamics', and 'Human Lines' — that crafted a signature sonic world, positioning the classical with the modern: baroque moods and arpeggiated synths; choral voices and electronic experiments.
"a delicious garden of sound to explore... liquid natural magic" — The Wire
Key performances and commissions to date include: Berlin Atonal - where she performed new work Ephemeral with a choir, Rewire Festival - who commissioned her to write and perform Cycles of Lost and Found, and Strøm Festival - where she unvailed site specific compositions for the ruins under the Danish Parliament and a stretch of the Copenhagen Metro.
