Do you remember the great album from Tropical Strength from two years ago? Well the debut album from Plant Lab holds more of the same sort of Avalanches meets The Zombies soundscape. Plant Lab is the duo of Seattle musicians Owen Whitcomb and Brenan Chambers, who have been working on this record for five years. For every layer you peel away there seem to be more textures underneath. Released on cassette and VHS by Crash Symbols last month, their self-titled album is a kaleidoscopic collage of sounds both warm and chilling. It would be a perfect soundtrack to home-taped copies of Zabriskie Point.
