plu emerges out of years of gradual development on the part of bandleader pluto bell. Over the course of the past decade, pluto’s work in the Los Angeles underground experimental music scene has wavered variously from longform composition to non-idiomatic songwriting, moving between the two, sometimes ambiguously and sometimes in a clear-cut way. Over that time, they’ve built up their artistic voice alongside numerous collaborative relationships with musicians performing their work. In this framework, plu represents pluto’s most decisive foray into the world of bands: guitars, drums, bass, vocals, songs, setlists, big amps… you name it, plu’s got it.
