DON’T SLEEP because following swiftly on from our Gland Extraction release is our disc on RHP CDrs called You Are Aborting. This will be available to buy and probably stream in the next few days, and for now you can listen to the first track here: https://soundcloud.com/rhp-cdrs/plurals-weird-fingering

This was released at the end of last week and sold out from the label the same day. A few more copies are now available from us (use the contact page or come to a show) or you can do a pay what you want download.

Plurals will be headlining an unofficial counterpart to Leamington Spa Peace Festival. After Peace Comes Doom is being held at Althorpe Studios and Gallery, Althorpe Street, Leamington Spa, and features performances from other visionaries of noise, drone and experimental music. Only £2 entry. Oh and it’s our album launch show for as as yet untitled CDr on RHP, who are promoting the event. https://www.facebook.com/events/244815528991651/?fref=ts

The two other releases in the works (12” on Oaken Palace and CDr on Sheepscar Light Industrial) are coming together. For the former we are donating all profits to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust. http://bumblebeeconservation.org

We have been invited to do a session on IC Radio on May 23rd, and and interview too I think. It should be weird fun. http://quark.icradio.com

I guess, for now, that’s it.

Rottenmeats have done a review of the gig, you can read it here: http://rottenmeats.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/plurals-stereocilia-and-tidal.html

We’re very pleased to announce that we’ll be playing at the great venue Powerlunches in Dalston soon. March 27th. Support from Stereocilia and Tidal. Perhaps we’ll have copies of new releases there too. To remind you, forthcoming is our Latitudes Session (CD/12”), a release on Oaken Palace (12”) and CDrs on RHP and Sheepscar Light Industrial.

You can finally pre-order our Latitudes Session on CD/vinyl: http://shop.southern.com/aidan-baker-plurals/

I guess a bit of action plan sharing might be necessary / useful / self-congratulating. The first months of 2013 shall see Plurals doing the following: recording for the 12” coming out on Oaken Palace Records, a CDr on [RHP] and a compilation track for ConSouling Sounds; playing at Splitting The Atom in Hastings on February 16th and hopefully a / some show(s) in the midlands, one or two in Brighton; perhaps finally having our Latitudes Session (with Aidan Baker) released. If all this happens as planned we will go ‘this is good’, because it will be. Lynx:

Here is what they say:

“Champagne Justice! Southsea’s newest, sexiest night of music and debauchery continues…

We’re talking bands, DJs and cheap booze, sweetheart. We’re talking about a fucking good time. Three quid on the door, what more can you ask for on an Autumn Saturday in Southsea? Oh, and the effervescent Colin Wakefield (Tatty Seaside Town/Edgeworld Records) will be selling some bonafide bombastic records, too.

After the raucous, drum-laden frenetic fury of Sly & The Family Drone, the raw power of Battery Hens and th

Speak Galactic release their new record Severed this month on Cupboard Music, and have asked us to play the launch event at Fitzherberts. This will take place on September 15th.

Please take the following very seriously: Supernormal Festival was and is a profoundly affecting alternative music and art experience. I can’t speak for the whole of Plurals when I say the weekend was a genuinely soul enriching, brain rewiring exercise, but shades of that idea, I’m sure, grace their feelings too, even if very slightly. I seriously suggest that everyone considers going next year because if it’s anything like the weekend that unfolded with such charm a couple of weeks ago, something utopian and free will rise again.

Personal musical highlights include the bands Rameses and Sweet Williams, noise fuckers Petals and Scotch Bonnet, poet Gary Goodman with Nick Hudson’s twinkling sonic backdrop and a lovely Oliveros vocal exercise headed by Kev Nickells. There is more, but things are hazy at best. Essentially everything in the barn area.

The other highlights are so breezy and hippified I almost don’t want to say, but fuck it, I’m breezy and hippified: wandering in the woodland under stars or dappled sunlight, sailing through the fresh air on the swing amongst the trees, amazing sense of community, creativity blossoming everywhere without force, hedonism mixing with profound, nourishing relaxation.

For a much better report please visit Gary Goodman’s website for a poetic rundown of everything that made it magical: http://garygoodman.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/supernormal/

Plurals have kindly been asked to play this festival next weekend (July 28th at 6pm we’re on apparently) - very last minute but there you go. Check it out. If you like The Proclaimers, The Futureheads, a fairly nostalgic drum and bass lineup AND psychedelic drone then a) congratulations on your eclecticism and b) you should come.

Next up of course is Supernormal, August 10th - 12th which is simply going to be amazing. Ticket purchasing is highly recommended to avoid missing out.

Tor Press have got our limited CDr ‘Debasement’ on their site now and you can pre-order a copy. I think there are only 100 so grab one soon if you don’t want to miss out. Each one comes with three lino prints, one each from from artists Ben Jones, Tom J Newell and Jake Blanchard, that correspond to each track.
