Pluramon sounds like a memory being reconstructed by a sophisticated but slightly malfunctioning artificial intelligence. It is the sound of classic shoegaze guitars and ethereal vocals being fed through a digital sieve, where the resulting music is both crystalline and murky. The guitars don't just roar; they pixelate and dissolve into clouds of granular noise that feel strangely warm despite their digital origin.
What makes this project truly distinctive is the tension between Marcus Schmickler's background in rigorous contemporary electronic music and the lush, accessible beauty of dream pop. By bringing in iconic voices like Julee Cruise, Pluramon anchors its experimental impulses in a recognizable, Lynchian emotional landscape. It is music that feels submerged, as if you are listening to a rock band performing at the bottom of a very deep, very clear pool.
Start with the album Dreams Top Rock. It is the definitive statement of the project's sound, featuring the haunting presence of Julee Cruise. It perfectly balances the abrasive edges of glitch-tronica with the soaring, melodic heights of 90s shoegaze, making it an essential bridge for fans of both My Bloody Valentine and Fennesz.
