Bella Union’s new signings Plantoid, today share their first single ‘Dog’s Life’ for the label. Plantoid are a psych-rock-jazz four-piece hailing from Brighton, their frenetic and spacey new single serves as a mind-expanding calling card. The lead single from their upcoming debut LP due 2024 on Bella Union, with twisty turny time signatures, guitars that sound like drills, and a swooping vocal, the track marries their love of ‘60s psychedelia, ‘70s prog, and ‘80s post-rock into a lush, layered epic that expertly showcases their diverse tastes and musicianship. ‘Dog’s Life’ comes accompanied by a hypnotic and visually striking video created by Digistitcher. Listen and watch HERE.or below.
Amid a driving, staccato guitar line and elastic bass melodies, lead singer/guitarist Chloe Spence’s vocals beam through the ether like the midway point between an angel and an alien. Inspired by Chloe’s dog Poppy and her hot-and-cold temperament, the band – which including Thomas Coyne on guitar, Bernardo Larisch on bass, and Louis Bradshaw on drums – wanted to create a mood-swing of a sonic voyage that pings from blissfully elated to shockingly heavy.
Plantoid have a number of upcoming live dates including the Bad Vibrations All Dayer at the Shacklewell Arms in London in September – Info below:
