Description
Point Line Plane began as a synth/drums duo, creating noise music with pop hooks and touring the U.S. relentlessly. As electro continued to fizzle out and screamy dance-punk/neo-no wave enjoyed a brief spike of popularity, kids and college radio DJs took note of PLPs eclectic and original style, often contrasting the sound to other innovators like Liars, Ex-Models and Lightning Bolt. Actual comparisons, however, were harder to draw; rews found writers grasping for metaphors rather than listing influences. In two short years, Point Line Plane played over 100 shows and continued to hone their near-telepathic live skills in destructively short 20-minute concert performances. The production of a self-titled album and their subsequent score for the feature documentary film Haunters made it clear that their studio abilities were unquestionable as well. Their sophomore effort and Skin Graft Records debut Smoke Signals is a concept album about failed communication in all forms. While the addition of a third member (and even more synths) could have created a wall of sound throughout, the album is more often reflective of restraint, tension and drama. Reition, hypnosis, psychedelia, paranoia and darkness these are the ingredients combined to form an album whose sonic textures will satisfy extreme noise enthusiasts as well as fans of classic, melodic songwriting.
