In April 2013, Taylor signed to 4AD. His first release through 4AD, Bloodflows, reached #1 on the Amazing Radio chart. In September, follow up track Lessons was released with an Olivier Groulx-directed, Dazed & Confused-premiered music video. In April 2014, debut album Tremors was released with lead single Artifice. The album charted in several European countries and received favorable reviews.
After temporarily trading Vienna for Northern California, SOHN spent several months alone writing and recording the ten tracks which form his sophomore LP 'Rennen' (January 2017). The album was preceded by 'Signal' and 'Conrad'.
Along with his own work, Taylor has also worked with other artists - writing and producing Banks's Alibi and Waiting Game, remixing Lana Del Rey's Ride, and producing songs on Rita Ora's new album.

SOHN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaves hearts scattered on the ground
My baby don't make a sound
As long as her hard liquor's never watered down
She's never been turned away
Don't care for what people say
She'll never see a rainy day
As long as her hard liquor gets bought and paid
As long as her hard liquor don't wash away
She needs that hard liquor maybe every day
She needs that hard liquor
Just give her that hard liquor
And she'll be okay
My baby don't need a song
My baby won't sing along
She don't need my muscle
'Cause her liquor's strong
Just give her that hard liquor and she took me home
Just give her that hard liquor 'til the morning comes
She needs that hard liquor maybe every day
She needs that hard liquor
Just give her that hard liquor
And she'll be okay
And she'll be okay
And she'll be okay
She'll be okay
She'll be okay
She'll be okay
Be okay
Be okay
My baby don't need a song
My baby won't sing along
She don't need my muscles
'Cause her liquor's strong
Just give her that hard liquor and she took me home
Just give her that hard liquor 'fore the morning comes
She needs that hard liquor maybe every day
She needs that hard liquor
Give her that hard liquor
And she'll be okay
She'll be okay
And she'll be okay
She'll be okay
(Hard liquor, hard liquor, hard liquor)
The lyrics of SOHN's song Hard Liquor speak about a woman who relies on alcohol to forget her problems and feel better. The singer describes his partner as someone who never shows weakness in public and is always able to hold her head up high. But, underneath the surface, the woman hides a broken heart and a deep pain that she tries to numb with hard liquor that is never watered down. The singer mentions that his partner doesn't care about what other people say and has never been turned away. But, the implication here is that she might actually need help and support from others, which she refuses to seek out, choosing instead to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "she'll be okay" several times, as if the singer is trying to convince himself that his partner's reliance on alcohol is not a problem and that she will be able to handle it. However, the repetition of this phrase also highlights how the singer is trying to reassure someone who is clearly not okay. The song underscores the dangers and costs of addiction, and how people who struggle with addiction try to hide their pain behind a veneer of resilience and strength.
