Genre: Industrial, Dub, Noise, Experimental Limited Edition on Translucent GREEN Vinyl. PlatEAU's 2007 release “Kushbush” is a psychedelic, dub-infused electronic album that blends ambient soundscapes with heavy, bass-driven grooves. The project, spearheaded by cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy and Phil Western, delves into themes of altered states and introspection, combining lush synth textures, hypnotic rhythms, and distorted samples to create a trippy, immersive listening experience. With its laid-back, smoked-out vibes, “Kushbush” is a sonic journey through hazy atmospheres and experimental beats, reflecting the duo's unique fusion of industrial influences and chillout music aesthetics. “Music for Grassbars”, released by platEAU in 1997, served as the debut album for the duo, laying the groundwork for their distinctive sound that would evolve in later works like “Kushbush”. This album explores a more minimalistic and experimental approach, characterized by downtempo rhythms, ambient textures, and an eclectic mix of organic and synthetic sounds. With its playful track titles and dub-inspired grooves, Music for Grassbars captures a sense of curiosity and exploration, offering a lo-fi, laid-back soundscape that's equally suitable for contemplative listening or background ambiance. It's an early testament to platEAU's ability to blend electronic innovation with a relaxed, hazy atmosphere.
