Indie-pop maestro Pluto Jonze aka
Lachlan Nicolson has delivered his debut full length album. Recorded in his
own Redfern terrace-cum-recording studio, the album is 100% Pluto Jonze:
self-produced, mixed, engineered, played and sung.
In early 2012 Pluto delivered the
riff driven ‘Plastic Bag In A Hurricane’ achieving high rotation airplay across
triple J and community radio alike. The follow up song, the infectious and
hooky ‘Eject’ also hit the triple J airways and has recently received some
attention in Europe with Holland’s influential 3FM giving the track some
focus - resulting in it entering into the airplay charts in the
Benelux.
From the Beck inspired freak-pop
jam ‘Hispedangongonajelanguiro (Capiche?)’ to the gorgeous
Tongan Choir closing ballad ‘Come On Sunshine’, the album is 12
individual stories. Each song is as different and entertaining as the
next, propelled by stomping lo-fi guitar grooves, drenched in lush vocals,
gorgeous string arrangements and the signature wail of his trusty theremin.
Wide-eyed, anthemic, and at times heartbreakingly tender, this is what the 60’s
would have sounded like on another planet.
In celebration of his debut album release, Pluto Jonze will
head out on the road to embark on an East Coast Headline tour. His recent
appearances with They Might Be Giants and Vydamo have earned
him praise from fans and media alike, the Drum Media citing “The only real
misstep was the decision to have Pluto Jonze as second support, as he played a
set that was so awesome that it was seriously in danger of stealing the show.”
And Fasterlouder claiming “Jonze proved
without a doubt that he is definitely one to watch".
Presented
by SPA, TheAU Review, Falcona, Select Music and Stop Start, Pluto Jonze will
hit the road with his 3 piece band throughout August. Tickets on sale Tuesday,
25th June.
