Based in Skálavík in the Faroe Islands, Anna Iachino is an accomplished and visionary creative who’s applied her artistic talents across various projects. Shifting her focus to electronic music in 2022, her shifting sonic vision has resulted in the brand new project called Plutonic.
With a full-length record composed, performed and produced by Anna set to drop later this year, she brings us her debut single as Plutonic with the track titled “Where’s The Trauma?” The song was sparked by a question posed to Anna by her thesis mentor while she pursued her master’s in music at the Iceland University of the Arts.
Anna’s thesis, titled “Trauma, Poetry, Fuck The Jante Law – Creativity as a Means of Survival,” was an exploration of art as a tool for processing and overcoming pain. Yet her mentor’s direct question; “Where’s the trauma?,”struck a nerve. Feeling flustered and furious, she climbed the stairs to her room, determined to confront the question head-on. “I’ll show her where the trauma is,” she thought, channeling her emotions into a frenetic flurry of creativity, resulting in a vivid dose of highly original artistic expression.
Serving up an experimental dance punk sound full of punching rhythms and filtered through an avant-garde lens, the track delivers a brash and angsty jam that’s equally unique and gripping. Opened with the ominous pulse of quiet synth textures, Anna’s voice enters to ask “where’s the trauma” as the strike of claps accents the rhythm.
Developing with warbling background voices and the intense patter of looped synth elements, the snap of the beat injects danceable energy as her vocals stitch moody threads into the track. Building to an epic finale where grooving bass lines, erratic percussive shots and stuttered vocal rhythms collide, “Where’s The Trauma?” delivers an engaging sonic voyage unlike any other.
Offering a spectacular display of channeling bitter emotions into artistic work, it’s an emphatic debut statement from this exciting new project. As Anna Iachino continues her journey as Plutonic and with her first album on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what she’s got in store for the rest of this year and beyond.
