Issue 35
LOS CAMPESINOS!
It's sad that you think they're all just scenesters…Plan B thumbs a ride with serrated, self referential indiecore avengers Los Campesinos! for a roll down the US west coast. So you reckon limousines, Trent Reznor, and al fresco fellatio are twee? Really?
WILD BEASTS
Wild Beasts bare fangs and dangle from high wires, crafting a theatrical pop that rewrites history as oddball pantomime.
THE BUG
As The Bug, Kevin Martin wraps his mandibles round ragga and dubstep, lacing street sounds with industrial dread and dropping basslines like shockwaves. On new album London Zoo, Martin rolls deep, uniting MCs in one shared mission: to shake the city to the floor…
In Praxis: LEILA
For the first in Plan B's new series on music–making process, In Praxis, we step behind the mixing desk with Leila, bedsit auteur and Björk's mixing lieutenant, to talk the secret life of faders and the power of noise.
TIMES NEW VIKING
Intellectualise Ohio's Times New Viking at your peril: you'll find these dudes getting high on scuzz and powering effervescent melodies through the noxious fug of no–budget analogue recording.
PHILIP JECK
Philip Jeck uses vintage turntables and orphaned vinyl to unbottle forgotten memories and free lost souls.
