We are pleased to announce our tenth album as Plaid, ‘Reachy Prints,’ will be released by Warp Records on the 19th May 2014. You can listen to Track 02, Hawkmoth, linked below. And pre-order from, iTunes - smarturl.it/4sh6cx Bleep - smarturl.it/h3ucqn
You can really hear the love thats gone into Hawkmoth. The EQing is ridiculously pristine. It sounds so clean , but not in a clinical way cos it has such a great warmth to it. A lot of producers , myself included , are listening to this and thinking " I really gotta raise my game ". The melodies are exactly what I want to hear , and the craftmanship is exceptional. Huge respect Guys. Really looking forward to the new album !!
Absolutely agree; it's hard to pinpoint, but this is one of those tracks where you always feel like you just barely don't have the proper speakers/headphones to get the proper frequencies.
I've always loved the way that some of Plaid's note/chord progressions seem to wander to notes that you wouldn't expect, and end up creating beautiful but surreal melodies. I often describe stuff as 'Plaid-like' when I hear similar in music now.
sad, melancholic and full of beautiful pain-inflicting visual qualities. This is the true nature of the Plaid sound to me. Something they share with Boards of Canada, but on a different level, equally unique, but yet different. Thank you for still finding uncharted niches and terrain in the huge map of contemporary music.
Warp Records has always had a great roster of Electronic artists... this is great as well. The music is bright, it has a nice little off metered sounds sprinkled in, very mellow :)
Generally not a fan of purely synthesized music, but I'm always impressed by this group, they've been producing quality music for years, rarely disappoint. Most artists create the occasional clunker, but Plaid seems to have reached a level of consistency which is rare, and craft their music with considerable attention to detail.
The first time I heard this song 5 years ago it created vivid memories of an oddly specific memory, time, place, smell, sound, and existence that i had all but forgotten I had once felt in my childhood. I dont know why this song invokes such a strong and clear nostalgic moment for me but it was this: Trading pokemon cards in 1999 with friends in my suburban neighborhood on an overcast October afternoon. I was trying to trade for a Kengiskhan and a Vaporion. I dont know why this song makes me feel the exact nostalgia.. the wonder and excitement I had back then with trading pokemon cards with friends with our binders sprawled out on the sidewalk infront of my friends house after school. It wasn't like just remembering a feeling I had experienced in my lifetime; as if trying hard enough, I could remember it again. No this was remembering an entire existence that my brain and body had completely discarded years ago never meant to be remembered again. If it weren't for Plaid, it would have stayed that way. This experience that plaid created for me made me want to buy those old cards again. I now have thousands of dollars of old vintage cards and a pokemon avatar as my profile picture lol... Thanks plaid! XD
cette chanson c'est tellement un truc de ouf tellement une explosion de sentiments, d'émotions ça me tue c'est un de ces trucs incroyables qui existent que personne ne semble voir
SAME! i disliked plaid the first time i heard them then after i listened to their stuff like 3 times i was like wait a fucking second.... this weird shit... ACTUALLY WORKS! then my mind was blown.
I LOVE YOU GUYS, so much good taste, every song is a story or voyage by itself, not talking about your ost, deep level of composition, thanks for being my polar star!
Never tried to get into Plaid but now after listening to this I should start. Would love it if Plaid released the Tekkonkinkreet soundtrack. Great track thanks Plaid.
Very cool track. The sequences and Sounds solve one, difficult to define but positive feeling. Not as hard to access as BOC. This track might even be longer.
AH! Tickling our pallets with a mysterious 5-second clip!! That's bordering on cruelty. Kidding. Thanks for the sneak peaks!!! I'm so excited (& such a dork), I made a daily countdown paper chain. Seriously.
Probably in my top 3 all-time Plaid favourites, it's that good. A sublime track!
Plaid always take the notes/chords exactly where i want/need them to go. Thanks.
Yes. Always hitting the right spots. When it comes to musical orgasms, Plaid is my King.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever come across... moves me every time....

My favourite moments are when the inversions are laid over the original melody in different ways, it's pure magic!
Spot on. Warm and fuzzy capturing the value and agency of being a human
So the whole point of your comment is to tell us you are a producer? We got it.
@@SmilePls666 :))))))) :p
This piece of music really gets to your neurons ,one of an emotional piece of electronic music i have ever heard
Back with that beautiful, driving melodic music we know so well :)
Hi from the future 😊

It's funny how we feel the music differently :D For me it's hopeful and bright
@@Emka877 Same here. When I listen this I see the discovery of futuristic utopian landscapes in my minds eye, and feel the sense of wonder.
First heard in a mix of Mixmaster Morris and fell in love directly. What a masterpiece!

Indeed; even non-proponents of electronic music can find things to enjoy in their music, it's so smooth and playful.
They utilise a Casiotone and glockenspiel across most of their music so it's not completely synthetic.
This is by far, one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Same
Plaid is always home for me. Always Rhythmically, Melodically and harmonically interesting!!!
This is one of those one in 20 years tunes and the one 20 years ago was also plaid!
I'm forever envious of this level of talent and beauty.
Indeed! May I ask what track that was?

Thanks plaid! XD
I did those things too and it reminds me of when my heart was open and excited and sharp
Adult Swim my friend?😂
cette chanson c'est tellement un truc de ouf
tellement une explosion de sentiments, d'émotions
ça me tue c'est un de ces trucs incroyables qui existent que personne ne semble voir
This track gets better every time I listen, so good!
lost count of how many time I've listened to this now, still as gorgeous just now as it was on the first listen. love you plaid
It's such an entrancing track, it's otherworldly
Simply beautiful... Thank you Andy & Ed!
This track could literally be about half an hour long and it would still be too short. Proper dope.
it reminds me of a place I've never been before. But a place I want to visit.
Sehnsucht.
Memories from places that i had not been.
A nostalgia for things and moments that never existed.
perhaps it’s the place in the album cover?
Every time I listen to this song I cry. But it's exactly what I desire
Your comment is nearly as beautiful as the song…
Another quality plaid track.With Liverpool street track on the album it sounds like we have a melodic plaid album .Cant wait
I'll be seeing them live tomorrow in Malta. Really excited!
Hope it was good! :) (6 years later haha)
the music of the future, again. Thanks plaid
Beautifully done! So vibrant and colorful!
Sonido increíble. Gracias por crear este sonido tan maravilloso
Sounds amazing, need more Plaid!!

Damn! Plaid activates and ensparkes absolute beautiful imagry in my mind.. Plaid is just freaking amazing! There beats are purely amazing.
Awesome track - can't wait to hear the new album :)
Can't wait for the London show in May!
"reachy prints" has some of the best anagrams... eg. Tipsy Rancher, Catnip Sherry, Carny Hipster, Trashy Prince, Strain Cypher, Harpy Cretins...
SoulPoipose go out a bit more mate.
That's awesome, heh. Perhaps a bit reaching, though (eh? eh??)
Uff
Sublime as always. Cant wait to hear the rest of the album!
This music makes me feel love and sadness at the same time. I don’t know what to call this feeling but its weird.
Ambivalence
Very nice. Looking forward to this in May!
This is the summum plus ultra ! Congrats !
I LOVE YOU GUYS, so much good taste, every song is a story or voyage by itself, not talking about your ost, deep level of composition, thanks for being my polar star!

Very cool track. The sequences and Sounds solve one, difficult to define but positive feeling. Not as hard to access as BOC. This track might even be longer.
Beautiful
gorgeous !!!
LOVE!!!!! nice work!!!!!
New Squarepusher, Plaid and possibly even Aphex Twin all at the same year? I'm not sure i'll handle that.
it's a fantstic application of the moebius strip principle in music. it's like going endlessly higher to the stars...
This is fucking sublime...
Great track - Chord sequences remind me of the Miami Vice theme
New PLAID im sooooooo happy!!
sound of paradise
2014 is now officially a good year :D
i went to see this live, and oh my goodness, i never heard anything this good
Super sweet!
Awesome! Love it. Dead excited for the new album :D
New Plaid album in May? Dope.

AH! Tickling our pallets with a mysterious 5-second clip!! That's bordering on cruelty.
Kidding. Thanks for the sneak peaks!!! I'm so excited (& such a dork), I made a daily countdown paper chain. Seriously.
1:56 ❤
nice solid sounds
This world Is alien, normality out there.
fantastic!
Beautiful!! :)
Everytime I listem to this music , I feel like a robot.
Plaid is HOME BASE!
Er - lost in translation i think.
I bought a pot plant, a few tins of emulsion and a mop from them.
OBACHOWA lost in translation was….. a play on the words of a movie that featured a squarepusher song…. yeah!!!
bless you
Last year we had Boards of Canada, this year - Plaid. Well, it's amazing. Maybe in a few years Aphex Twin will release something, lol.
ich liebe es
