Melting Vinyl dedicated to bringing creative artists to Brighton & Kent

Legendary Warp records artists return to Kent after a sold out show!
Forging ever bolder and emotive paths through electronic music, Plaid are set to release their 11th studio album ‘ ‘Feorm Falorx’ ’ on November 11th via Warp Records. The innovative duo Ed Handley and Andy Turner have been expanding the realm of electronic music as Plaid since they diverged from trio The Black Dog in the early 90s. In 2022, Plaid stand alongside the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre and Nightmares on Wax as mainstays of the Warp label as it reached its 30th anniversary, celebrating achievements in music like few others. Their adventurous and playful approach has taken them to working with Björk and drawing comparisons to fellow collaborators Mark Bell, Arca, Haxan Cloak and more recent Releases by Skee Mask and Daniel Avery. They’ve worked with the London Sinfonietta, the Southbank Gamelan Players, composed for Felix’s Machines robotic sculptures, and soundtracked events as diverse as reindeer migration in northern Europe to a level in popular platformer Little Big Planet 3. In a live capacity their show straddles both a contemporary and club capacity, able to pack venues from Sydney Opera House and Southbank to Bloc and Berghain.

 

Plaid say: Feorm Falorx is based around the idea of an infinite festival called Feorm on the planet Falorx, where we are transported to play the festival and have to be turned into light because of the planet’s atmosphere
