Plantoid

all hail plantoid’s debut album – the prog-rock opus, ‘terrapath’, released & championed by bella union! in their cauldron, they stir together multiple subgenres to concoct a sort of primordial soup, the molecules of which are built as much from jazz, soul, folk & even a bit of 70’s hard rock, as they are progressive rock.

just take a look at the sleeve art coz, in this case, you can definitely judge a record by its cover! it’s weird and eerie, but it also ignites a feeling of wonder and nostalgia, like cracking open your favourite sci-fi novel as a kid. and yet it was created by a decidedly modern band of exceptionally talented musicians who are able to marry the old and the new in a fresh and exciting way. the fourpiece dig deep into their shared influences, ranging from miles davis to todd rundgren, to jeff buckley, all the way around to the more acute experimental fare that gives plantoid their razor-sharp edge.
