Commenting on the track Plantoid say: “Dozer embodies the feeling of trying to find comfort amongst all the noise in the world. It’s about wanting to rest when needed without any feelings of guilt that may accompany that. Inspired by the motorik pulse of 70’s Krautrock. It’s a repetitive groove which twists and turns as it evolves, constricts and contracts.”
Plantoid have news of an extensive UK tour for February and March next year including a headline performance at London’s Moth Club, alongside dates in Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh, Bristol, Brighton, and more.
“While making FLARE, we did knowingly acknowledge that our sound had been very erratic,” explains drummer Louis Bradshaw, who along with vocalist/guitarist Chloe Spence and lead guitarist Tom Coyne make up the nucleus of Plantoid. “We never stayed on anything for too long. Before going into writing this album we wanted to slightly redefine what we were doing—it’s less directly proggy. It strays from that sound a bit, while retaining that character.”
With the help of producer/sometimes live member Nathan Ridley, who has helped the band craft their sonic identity since their debut album, Terrapath, they’ve sought to indulge their groovier side, dissecting their songs further and letting their ingredients properly ferment into something new. “We wanted to sit in the music for a while, make a mood out of it rather than changing it up so quickly,” says Chloe. “We wanted to develop ideas to their fullest extent.”
