Well, that’s crappie news. (Tee, hee!)
The plankton in question is Plankton, short for Planet K-Tone, I’m told, and hailing from down under. They were a feral four-piece who have settled for permanent hiatus, it seems. The calm is textured, the saxophones unpretentious, the arsenal diverse. I especially like “High Lite and Deep Shade.” The guitarist at least has moved on to a coffeehouse gig project, which still needs some time in the oven. Maybe it’s time for them to reel in the hooks and get to work on Planet 2K?
