Lyra Pramuk – “Hymnal (Resung)” (7K / pop.soil), Cyclic Defrost

On June 5, Lyra Parmuk will release Hymnal (Resung) on 7K and her own imprint pop.soil. The EP is a suite of “reworkings” of music from her lauded sophomore album Hymnal (2025). Made in collaboration with the Berlin-based Sonar Quartet string ensemble, Hymnal expands Pramuk’s pallette of processed vocals with strings and recomposed lyrics penned by poet Nadia Marcus that were selected by slime-mould! You might guess that Pramuk’s approach to wordplay emphasises the experimental, textural and emotional rather than the literal.
