Right?? Feeling "Plini" is an Emotion in its own.

Ditto. Been jamming this song til they drop the rest. So good.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

Not sure if "happy", this is more emotional than happy. In fact, I get a lot of Jakub Zytecki vibes from it.

[@madmax551]

i would copy paste this comment.

[@Ivan2294]

Just found this song a few weeks after losing my job and getting rejected by a girl I'm good friends with. It feels melancholic but feisty and perfectly fits my mood. I keep running into setbacks that make me feel down, but I'm refusing to back down and I'm keeping up my positive attitude. I won't stop fighting and I'll take on whatever life throws at me.

[@AlchemyMelbourne]

I love the fact he is not an 'ego' player. He can shred but chooses only to do it when the music calls for it, not a session of 'hey look at me I can do this forever'.

I wonder if they just booked the property for a viewing. Plini’s decoration taste reveals his elegant style.

[@philst113]

Sounds like he is establishing musical themes now. That is clearly a new interpretation of "Salt + Charcoal" i can hear in the climax. I love it!

[@veenoir1991]

I can hear your mom in the climax

[@shantanunathan]

Where exactly? I couldn't quite hear it

[@mikel5163]

Plini actually used to use motifs across different songs in his early EP's quite a bit.

[@jamesclawson9243]

3:58 the drum and bass rhythm (and maybe also the bass notes) is that same chuuug chug chuuug chug chuuug chug chuug chuug chuuug. Note the amount of "u"s in each chug. I can't actually figure out the time signature(s) there but it's in 3/4 right before

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

mikel5163 yeah but that doesn't count cause they're all part of one single trilogy of EPs (known as the "Things" trilogy). No other album after this has done a call back to an unrelated past album. Maybe the song Kind (which, quite unintentionally, did a call back to Other Things) and Handmade Cities (whose motif is hidden in 3 more songs: Electric Sunrise, And Here We Are Again and Cascade, but they're all from the same album).

The hints of Salt + Charcoal!!! Glorious!!!!!!!

[@eatingtrees9077]

I just got home from the concert, having heard this song for the first time live. And what a privilege that is, as here I listen to it, stuck on repeat, with a sudden ineffable outpour of emotion. Thank you Plini, for your incredible music, and thank you for making the trip to Seattle. Your work is my largest inspiration. I remember the first Plini song I heard was Heart, and the only albums at the time were the "Things" EPs. I always appreciated all the little recurring motifs and how self-referential that "album" was, and I'm so excited to see that present itself in this track as well. The Irish inspired section was such a fun surprise and to hear that layered into a reworked version of Salt + Charcoal was just incredible. Salt + Charcoal is probably my favorite Plini song because I hadn't ever even considered there could be such a thing as a septuplet before hearing it, and it basically made a whole new world available to me rhythmically. And what more could a drummer ask for?

[@FabioEloi]

Plini is the optimistic progressive music ambassador.

[@bradprince1854]

If you’re a bassist and not completely enthralled by this, you have my sympathy.

[@dakrisis]

Not a bassist, but I very much enjoy anything Plini and Grove collaborate on. They truly are the jelly to each other's peanut butter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZaTaYNmrpypj7ssi=aQqjMk7-NHkPUYzk

[@zipscool]

You are easily my favourite modern guitarist by a long shot. Just about every track you've dropped has me grinning and bobbing my head along like a fool, and even your older stuff that I've listened to countless times by now still feels as fresh now as it did upon my first listen. Never stop creating these absolute bangers!

[@zae5159]

Not just a banger, but it's so goddamn well mastered and EQ'd. Sounds AMAZING on good headphones, it's so spacious!

[@Ermz]

Thanks! Simon did a killer job on the mix, as usual.

[@marcelito11]

What brilliant about this song is that he has mastered himself. We can hear all the technique that he's built over the years. And If you pay close attention its honestly so many different Plini songs combined into one which is so cool. Fucking epic playing

[@rookiem8]

good ears

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

He continually inspires me to make my music simpler in the aim to make something people can actually listen to. No more circle jerking with my musician friends making overly complicated songs and progressions 😂

[@chrishexx3360]

Man this gave me goosebumps many times. So uplifting. Magicians all of you.

[@gurt00]

Right when you think there's going to be a break, the music fakes you and keeps bopping along. I gotta say on my first listen I didn't expect most of the the quiet drops or pieces when the music slowed its pace. It's like i'm on a rollercoaster but I don't know when the curves are coming because I'm so into the experience and the thrill, then they appear in front of you suddenly and the difference is welcomed even more! The drops/rests feel so satisfying when they hit.

[@LunatiqueRob]

Among the new generation of guitar heroes, Plini stands out for being one of the most classy and sophisticated composers among them. No mindless shredding or repetitive arpeggios that sound like some warm-up exercise to impress the Instagram crowd instead of aural storytelling that actually conveys a compelling narrative and distinct mood and emotional journey. And he's one of the nicest and most lovable too. Can't wait for the new album to drop.
