Album Review: Plaid - Reachy Prints

"Plaid are techno’s Rolling Stones."



Plaid are techno's Rolling Stones. Artists who manage to reach album number ten without “evolving” or jumping on a few bandwagons would usually be suffocating for lack of new ideas. But like their crinkly rock counterparts, Plaid keep crafting inspirational music that's essentially similar to that of 23 years ago; complex, yet immediately accessible electronica that's lush and cerebral in equal measures, such as alluring opener OH. With the deftest of production upgrades and attention to almost imperceptibly fine details, Reachy Prints punches its weight along with the rest of Plaid's swelling catalogue.
