About

Leaning towards the more experimental, laid back and emotive side of electronica, Plum builds her music around samples she records from everyday life such as footsteps, birdsong and ice cubes tinkling in lemonade. With 2 EP’s previously released on Summer Rain Recordings, and a debut album (the first female release on Benbecula Records in October 2009), Plum is causing a stir.

The Album ‘Different Skin’ is available in Avalanche Records, Underground Solushn and from this website. The EPs ‘The Whispering Chamber’ and ‘The Glory Feast’ are sold out.

“Holly Golightly? Scottish loops’n’samples slinger Plum is a 20-something electronic-based musician with her two feet firmly planted in a zillion different camps. Plum has been described as the female Fourtet, and with good reason: Combining her naturalistic, gentle vocals and guitar with all manner of sampled and live instruments, her EP The Whispering Chamber matches the sound of coquettish woodland nymphs with sampled electronic bits ricocheting off some abandoned satellite. But beyond that natural/synthetic mold so common to the music of Fourtet, Plum also recalls English knob-twiddlers Laika, Lemon Jelly, and Plug. Give a listen, Plum will set your head reeling, and your thoughts to daydreaming mode” - Ken Micallef – Yahoo (Better Living Through MP3)

“Loop machine genius”

“Now whether or not you like fruit, you’re pretty much guaranteed to love Plum. With a quoted influences list as long and varied as a John Peel playlist, you can almost discount them all when listening to The Whispering Chamber EP (Summer Rain). With a heavy emphasis of sampling, there is an air of ghostliness throughout reminiscent of early CocoRosie, slip in the odd element of Four Tet and Lemon Jelly and you might be just about there. ‘Disjointed Mondays & If I Were a Bubble’ is sheer joy, and makes Plum an essential part of any fruit basket”.
