PLAITUM - Jagwa (Lim. Ed.)

Experimental pop duo Plaitum have announced their second EP "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.” Vinyl, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM, EP
