We Are Plutonians

Released in 2013, We Are Plutonians represents a foundational moment in Unlike Pluto's (Armond Arabshahi) discography. Spanning 20 tracks, the album is a sprawling showcase of his early mastery of glitch-hop and dubstep, long before his transition into more traditional alternative rock and blues-infused electronic pop. The record is notable for its thematic consistency, utilizing 'Plutonian' imagery to explore themes of isolation and digital identity. Musically, it is defined by sharp, metallic textures and a maximalist approach to production, featuring complex drum programming and heavily processed vocal layers. While it lacks the radio-ready polish of his later Monstercat-era hits, it possesses a raw, experimental energy that has made it a cult favorite among long-time fans. The album's structure, moving between aggressive club-ready drops and more melodic, introspective interludes, showcases an artist navigating the peak of the EDM boom while searching for a distinct, personal voice.
