PLaNETS: The DarkWoods

Tonight I'll be highlighting a new and upcoming artist who transcends conventional music in their delivery, their live shows, their unique style, and their overall adventurous vibe! Hailing from Alhambra, this artistic collective of so much more than sound (which sometimes encompasses up to 20 people) never limits themselves purely to the music they're creating, for they include acting, dancing, and even shadow puppetry into their shows, and their eclectic style is reflected in their one of a kind music! 

Their entire debut album, The DarkWoods, is a trip, with numerous great songs and an air of unexpected surprises around every shadowy aural tree-trunk. From a nature-soundscape overture to the slow build rock of 'Scared Coyote', all the way through to the spaced out 'Miracle Tip', The DarkWoods is a crazy journey that you can't experience the same way twice! 

Sadly only a few songs are on the interwebs, so here's a painfully brief taste of PLaNETS' great sound! None of their youtube videos are being found by blogger on here, which has been a frustrating last half hour or so battle, so here's a little bit of everything!
Since Blogger is being annoying, go to their YouTube channel below and my highlights from the album are 'Scared Coyote', 'Bloodbrains', and 'Miracle Tip'. 
You really can't expericence the full fun of PLaNETS without listening to their full album, so make a leap of faith and check out their song previews and buy the album on:
