About Me |
|
| Leaning towards the more experimental, laid
back and emotive side of electronica, Plum builds her music
around samples she records from everyday life such as footsteps,
birdsong and ice cubes tinkling in lemonade.
"Holly Golightly? Scottish loops’n’samples slinger Plum is a 20-something electronic-based musician with her two feet firmly planted in a zillion different camps. Plum has been described as the female Fourtet, and with good reason: Combining her naturalistic, gentle vocals and guitar with all manner of sampled and live instruments, her EP The Whispering Chamber ( Summer Rain Recordings ) matches the sound of coquettish woodland nymphs with sampled electronic bits ricocheting off some abandoned satellite. But beyond that natural/synthetic mold so common to the music of Fourtet, Plum also recalls English knob-twiddlers Laika, Lemon Jelly, and Plug. Give a listen, Plum will set your head reeling, and your thoughts to daydreaming mode" - Ken Micallef - Yahoo(Better Living Through MP3) "electronica, but it's dark with throbbing, looping vocal hooks underpinning breathy, haunting melodies" Mark Inchley, The Southern Reporter "A cross between music and magic" Gerry Farrell, The Leith Agency "Mesmerising Stuff", The Peeblesshire News "Best New Music of 2007" - HGNJ Radio "glass bubbles singing with rusted wires twisted inside" - Cecile Click image for The Whispering Chamber EP On iTunes artwork by Darren Woolridge artwork by George Morton Clark George is currently exhibiting his work (including The Glory Feast) www.duck-artshop.com/acatalog/George_Morton-Clark.html |
