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