Powerplant

Girl-group duo from LA/Philly, creators of minimalist atmospheres, wonderfully expressive voices. Their sounds can go anywhere from haunted/bratty/ethereal/pained/dreamy. Plenty of textures here, and a fair amount of short songs. FCC on 12. RIYL: The She's, Grass Widow.

1 (2:50) ***** Breathy, bedroomy, soft and strummy, really sweet, then increasingly loud and energetic, noisy.
2 (2:27) ****** Slackery guitar into breathy vox, calm and sleepy. Assertive and driving slacker energy.
3 (1:31) ****** Bouncy chirpy happy guitar, poodle-skirt sweetness in vox... until halfway, then a suddenly wall of sludge and noise. Cool, great effect
4 (2:47) **** Midtempo rainy-day backing, closet-y intimate vox.
5 (2:08) **** Noisy crowded car atmosphere, with high, spirited vocals
6 (2:01) ***** Dampened drumbeat like a heart, sweet storytelling vox. Lush and safe.
7 (2:21) *** Tambouriney singalong with atonalities and frayed edges, syrup
8 (1:15) ***** Weird mathy strummy with oblique sideways vocals
9 (2:01) **** Slinky suave air, whispery vox as a fade into fuzzy swamp
10 (2:04) *** Hectic falling down atmosphere
11 (3:26) ***** '90s-vibe, brisk and cocky, but misplaced like a daydream
12 (3:38) [fcc: "FUCKED UP"] ***** Steady march, into murkier and noisier, crazy din.
