Plaitum tease debut album with evocative new electro tune "Yearning"

"We’ve always been set on hiding dark, sadistic fucked up stories in pop," Plaitum's Abi Dersiley says. "Trying to portray stuff in a way that people don’t realise they’re listening to something that’s based on a bad experience or Ted Bundy or whatever. To explain every song would be missing the point... it’s like a joke, almost. It makes people feel kind of dirty, in a way."

The track is another sublime taste of upcoming debut album Constraint.

"Yearning" is a brewing storm - it's not punctuated with cathartic plumes of emotion like some other tracks from Plaitum, with a burbling, burgeoning outburst lurking underneath a shroud of supposed calm.

Plaitum have confirmed a handful of new shows in April to support the LP's release, including a headline date at London's Pickle Factory on 25 April. Find out more.
