Plaitum detail their new Jagwa EP, share video for title track

05 April 2016, 15:48 | Written by Laurence Day

Experimental pop duo Plaitum have announced their second EP and shared the title track, "Jagwa".

The pair - Abi Dersiley and Matt Canham - released their self-titled debut EP last year, and signed to super-producer Paul Epworth's impressive Wolf Tone label.

The multi-instrumentalists have started work on their eagerly anticipated debut record - and this is a preview of what to expect.

Speaking about its creation, Canham says: "Most of the Jagwa EP was written in my bedroom over a weekend. We took loads of Pro Plus and stayed up for three days writing. The songs got weirder the longer we were awake - at one point Abi just played a really loud droney noise for about half an hour on my microKORG and we both thought it was amazing. I listened back the next day and it was just white noise."

Dersiley adds: "The EP gets progressively darker and sludgier. Unlike our debut EP, which was more or less psycho happy mayhem, we definitely wanted this one to more deliberate, less a frenzied crime of passion and more like a carefully formulated assassination.”

Plaitum's new EP is out 20 May on Wolf Tone (Rosie Lowe, Glass Animals).

Check out "Jagwa" and its trippy visuals below.

Tracklist:

1. Jagwa
2. Slave Red Stag
