Plaitum have debuted the video for LMHY via The FADER or you can watch it via YouTube below. LMHY is the lead track from their debut, self-titled EP, due for release on December 4 via Wolf Tone in digital and limited edition 12″ vinyl formats.
The song is available to stream and download now; it is also an instant-grat for those pre-ordering the EP via iTunes. There’s also a remix of LMHY by Tri Angle’s genre-defining artist Rabit is also available now. Listen to to the Rabit remix via Soundcloud below.
Plaitum combine the glacial cries and whispers of Abi Dersiley with the dark and brooding atmospherica of producer Matt Canham. Now 20, the multi-instrumentalist pair have been friends since childhood, having met at age 11 at school in Colchester, UK, and bonded over their shared love of Massive Attack, Talking Heads and old horror films. They were in a series of bands together before realising their close friendship meant a duo was probably the most effective vehicle for their ideas.
Plaitum’s first joint composition, Geisha, was written and uploaded to Soundcloud while they were still at school, attracting the attention of French imprint Kitsuné, who used it as the climatic piece of music for the 14th in their series of prestigious compilations.
In February 2015, they signed to Wolf Tone, the record label founded by Paul Epworth, and began working on their forthcoming debut album, with Canham at the controls at the famous Church studios in North London’s Crouch End, overseen by Epworth. Ahead of that there is Plaitum’s debut EP, featuring LMHY, Carousel, Higher and Sway, and it’s the introduction to the world of Plaitum. A world of obsession and death, sex and psychosis, and charged, dark electronic pop.
