I remember listening to this album on repeat for pretty much an entire summer once I discovered it. This album opened my eyes to this entire subgenre of prog and I gotta say it might be in my top 5 albums of all time. Think I may go put it on now!

[@not_donovan]

Literally in the same boat with you, I discovered so much prog while listening to plini. I listen to a lot of math rock atm but I'm definitely about to jam to some plini here in a sec

[@Prog4Prog]

Hahaha exactly the same as me!! I couldn’t put it down, I just loved the vibe, it’s so uplifting and unique! Hell, I’m gonna whack it on now

[@csabasiket-szasz1030]

Exactly the same case here! :)

[@gzahnd]

not donovan Figuratively in the same figurative boat as MostLikelyMortal

[@nave_hk]

I discovered it in the summer too!

[@althejazzman]

That bass solo at 1:16 is so clear it doesn't even sound like bass. Amazing.

[@miinpajamas6680]

Bruh I just discovered that that want a guitar playing 🤣 wtf So clean

[@DeadlyLazer]

I remember listening to this nonstop my first week of college, when it first came out. Now I'm graduating next week. Doesn't time fly... Thx Plini, for filling my college years with sick vibes

[@Mist_R]

Plini music is great for studying and writing essays

[@Peanuts76]

Made me remember one of steve terreberry videos 😂😂😂😂 Good one....

[@lostfrequency89]

Plini is such a humble person and an outstanding guitarist probably one of the best.

[@lostfrequency89]

@Chris no doubt everyone in the guitar community knows how impossible of a player Guthrie is, technicalities, music knowledge, improvisation on point. He's another amazing human being. Both plini and Guthrie deserves so much more attention and all the success.

[@BehindTheKitOfficial]

Chris fucking kills it on drums. So grateful I got to interview him!! An gentleman and a scholar. Plini is OK too :D

[@odbq]

One of my favourite songs from everywhere ever

[@WinterhouseRecords]

Agreed! This whole album really.

[@ledgy69]

@@WinterhouseRecords yep. The album is without a doubt my favourite ever written

[@Epikcs]

I get to see this lad for the first time in 2 weeks after listening to him daily for 2 years. I'm so hyped for it. 100% gonna cry

[@ShaneClough]

Without a doubt one of the most enjoyable live experiences is watching Plini. Super clean and the whole thing is just... comfy

[@danielschafhautle1691]

[@nazworld92]

Brandon Rix you will not be disappointed! I saw them for the first time in November in London and can’t wait to see them again one day

[@lilcrowlet1802]

This live version gives me the feeling I'm listening to this song for the first time again. Amazing!

[@lucaslandim2503]

I'm used to getting these promo vids with album playback but somehow when I got this notification I knew Plini would do different. And here it is! South America is waiting, plank! If AAL and Btbam came, I have faith! ❤️

[@marksimmons7906]

I love how dialed in Simon Grove and Chris Allison are to each other on this. Plini and Jake do their thing with lead work over the top, but the rhythm section is tighter than a transmission line.

[@KevinORourke25]

I'm an old school rock and blues guy, but I have to say that this certainly caught my attention and it kept me caught. What fabulous musicianship. Plini is new to me so it is quite a treat.

[@Peanuts76]

Dude your music such an inspiration for me battling against anxiety and depression, keep it up....

[@WadeIckes]

Same for me! Always giving my disorders relief and my brain a boost

[@Peanuts76]

18 years away from doing gigs and I still recognize the bottlenecks green room. 🤣

Holy fucking shit that synth/bass opening

[@TheLastDodoMusic]

incredible I love those things you changed from the actual record, like replacing the guitar with a synth at 2:15, it's beautiful !

So brutal 🔥 excelent song🎸 greeting from 🇻🇪

[@ChrisSnyderGuitar]

Cool video! I saw Plini in Philly at the Voltage Lounge a few years ago and it was freaking awesome.

[@Levitationaldelusion]

I love this old song, but I will be damned if it doesn't sound the same without Troy Wright on drums. Current drummer hits like hes 90 yrs old. Troy was a game changer for Plini's sound.

[@obnoxious2909]

Current drummer played drums on Sunhead and they sounded great. I thought he did great live too when I saw him but you're right. Troy is a machine.

[@Levitationaldelusion]

@@obnoxious2909 and its nothing personal against him..I know he's a solid drummer also. Having that said I still hear.a big difference in Plini's sound since he switched.

[@galanmoore]

idiot...yu just don't get that it's not sextuplets...it's quintuplets. that's why it FEELS inbetween to your untrained ears
