Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 release, the fourth album from the British Indie Pop band. Plumb was recorded throughout 2011 at the band's new studio on the banks of the river Wear in Sunderland. Largely abandoning the classic songwriting conventions embraced on 2010's Measure, Peter and David Brewis remodel the modular, fragmented style of their first two albums, only now it's shot through with the surreal abstractions of 20th-century film music from Bernstein to Willy Wonka and the off-beam Funk and pristine Synth Rock developed on the brothers' School of Language and the Week That Was albums. Plumb digs into the age-old dichotomy between what is reflective or nostalgic and the disorienting immediacy of the outside world. Start the Day Right, It S Okay to Change, Sorry Again Mate, A New Town, Choosing Sides, A Prelude to Pilgrim Street, Guillotine, Who LL Pay the Bills?, So Long Then, Is This the Picture?, From Hide and Seek to Heartache, How Many More Times?, Ce Soir, Just Like Everyone Else, (I Keep Thinking About) a New Thing
