Plankton Wat

Plankton Wat began as a home studio recording project by Portland, OR musician Dewey Mahood in the early 2000's. It was while on tour in the UK with Ripley Johnson's Rose City Band that Mahood started revisiting early 1980s post punk such as New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Cocteau Twins, a sound and attitude that became the foundation for the album "Corridors". Mahood played guitar and bass, and added a touch of synth and drum machine, while fellow Portland musician Dustin Dybvig played several beautiful solos using synth and piano. The songs are a continuation of ideas first heard on "Future Times" (Thrill Jockey, 2021), but are further refined into concise, compact musical statements reflecting on climate change.
