About Plone

Taking inspiration from library music, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and the soundtracks to vintage children's television shows, Plone stood out from their electronic music contemporaries when they emerged in the late '90s; when they resurfaced decades later, they remained singular. Their playful melodies and spooky yet mischievous atmospheres were distinct from many of their more serious Warp labelmates, and their innocence made them unique within Birmingham, England's retro-futuristic scene. After issuing a handful of EPs and 1999's cult classic full-length For Beginner Piano, Plone disappeared almost as soon as they arrived. However, their acclaim only grew while they were gone, and their aesthetic was a key influence on the look and sound of the label Ghost Box in the 2000s and beyond. It was only fitting that the label released Plone's 2020 album Puzzlewood, which proved the group's music was as sweetly witty as ever.
