Plaid to release new album based around recreation of live set at fictional show
Real live dates on earth also available
Plaid have announced details of their new album – a re-creation of a live set from a show that never happened.
Feorm Falorx is out on Warp on vinyl, CD, download and streaming formats on November 11, is said to be “generally gentler than the dark angularity of its predecessor Polymer” but retains their trademark focus on pushing rhythms to the limit.
Their 11th album, its concept finds the duo recreating a recent performance at the Feorm Festival, an imaginary intergalactic shindig held on the planet Falorx.
“In order to survive the Falorxian atmosphere they were converted into light so the traditional recording devices they’d taken on their spacecraft ‘The Campbell’ were not functional,” says the press release from the band. “Fortunately, having consulted Earth’s Space Agency, it was deemed safe to recreate the performance back in their London studio. Extensive testing of the resulting recordings have established a level of thought contamination deemed ‘perfectly acceptable.'”
