JUNE ISSUE OUT NOOO-O-O-OOW!

SPARKS
Ron and Russell Mael are Sparks, art–pop conceptualists rooting in the undergarments of popular music and teasing what they find into minimalist symphonies that celebrate perversity and yearn for perfection. On the eve of new album Exotic Creatures Of The Deep, they bring their back catalogue to the stage in its entirety. Nostalgia will never be the same again.
SHEARWATER
As Shearwater, Jonathan Meiburg lets his imagination take flight, shaping music that evokes nature in all its precarious fragility.
EFFI BRIEST
Plan B go out on a limb with Effi Briest, Brooklyn punk seamstresses weaving art and craft, nature and friend ship into a hypnotic, shamanic energy.
FLYING LOTUS
Flying Lotus chills with apparitions and shape–shifts through personas, synthesising a dreamy, hypnotic hip-hop that shimmers with possibilities.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE: RUDIMENTARY PENI
As part of Plan B's ongoing series on musical mavericks and forgotten visionaries, we meet Rudimentary Peni, enigmatic, reclusive anarcho punks documenting societies ruthless inequalities and exploring the furthest recesses of the mind.
