Plank! - Aphidelity

Review by Morgen Shirley

Aphidelity, the latest album by the British electronic music duo Plank!, is a mesmerizing journey through a soundscape of ambient beats, hypnotic melodies, and intricate textures. With its lush production, intricate arrangements, and experimental approach to sound design, Aphidelity showcases Plank!'s signature blend of electronic, jazz, and world music influences.

From the opening track "Aphidelity," which sets the mood with its dreamy synths and ethereal vocals, to the closing track "The End of Everything," a hauntingly beautiful meditation on mortality, the album takes the listener on a sonic journey that is both captivating and thought-provoking.

Tracks like "Magnetic North" and "The Infinite Loop" showcase Plank!'s ability to create intricate rhythms and grooves that are both danceable and cerebral, while tracks like "Interstellar" and "The Great Unknown" explore more atmospheric and introspective territories.
