Description
Plaid, the electronic music duo consisting of Ed Handley and Andy Turner, have pushed the boundaries of conceptual ideas with their 11th studio album, Feorm Falorx. This imaginative album takes listeners on a journey to the planet Falorx for the infinite festival Feorm, where Plaid‘s live set transcends time, space, and physical limitations. Incorporating incorporeal hyperfolk and digital baroque elements, Plaid merges generative ideas with their human touch, creating a mesmerizing fusion of sound. In the age of AI art, their exploration of limitless possibilities is nothing short of captivating and fitting.
Drawing inspiration from their fictional live performance, Plaid channels their live energy into an expansive set of tracks on Feorm Falorx. Their extensive discography is masterfully deconstructed and rearranged, resulting in elasticated percussion and frazzled synths that pulse with a taut and kinetic energy. Collaborations with artists like Mason Bee, as heard in “Nightcrawler,” bring an enveloping stadium atmosphere, combining synth rock and stargazing shoegaze influences. Plaid‘s mind-bending exploration on Feorm Falorx pushes the limits of their music further than ever before, showcasing their unmatched creativity and innovation.
Additionally, fans of Plaid may find similarities and enjoy the music of related artists such as Autechre, Boards of Canada, and Aphex Twin. These electronic music pioneers have also excelled in creating richly textured and conceptually driven soundscapes, making them worth exploring for those intrigued by Plaid‘s unique approach to music.
