PLAID

PLAID, the seminal experimental electronic project consisting of Ed Handley and Andy Turner have enjoyed long and uncompromising careers as pioneers within their genre – citing innovation as the core driving force behind their musical output.

Now celebrating thirty years with WARP Records, the duo have returned with their eleventh album, ‘Feorm Falorx’ – a playful and wondrous collection of songs rife with a firm understanding of melodicism that has enticed music fans to the project since its formation in the late 80s.

Sitting at the heart of global electronica, Ed Handley and Andy Turner are the perfect encapsulation of what the electronic music of their generation was all about  – bringing new rhythmic variation, emotive melody and sensual textures to electronic music in stark contrast to the white heat of the rave explosion. Though PLAID’s sound palette has been meticulously refined over the years, their focus has remained the same: intricate but always grooving rhythm, immersive listening experience and melodies and sound design that connect direct to the emotional centres. And so it goes on, but always with their constant studio experimentation driving everything.
