Surrounded by the DIY-scene around their own self-founded recording label new basement, plainhead tries to introduce an ethos uncommon to the local music landscape in their hometown Munich (DE) and interacts between the boundaries of experimental rock and pop. ‚You Are More Than A Thousand Words‘ is a romantic gesture dedicated to the stars and the people we hold close to our hearts, a subtle mix of chamber pop, experimental acoustic indie and 00s indietronics. (FFO: Phil Elverum, The Notwist, The American Analog Set) plainhead is the project by Tianping Christoph Xiao, who founded new basement together with his friends trying to build a sustainable music scene in Munich. Today on a monthly basis, a wide international spectrum of music is being introduced via new basement, hosting artists in Munich such as Chanel Beads, Milan W., Able Noise, Water From Your Eyes and more. plainhead has played alongside artists such as Quade, Contacto and other contemporary artists interested in the acoustic post-rock idealism - a similar breeze as Bristol’s 90s / 00s community scene surrounding Movietone, Crescent and other musical idealists. Plainhead also plays clarinet on the new the Notwist album ‚News From Planet Zombie‘, as well as on the new Hallway album, where he also acts as a producer and recording engineer.[info sheet from distr.]
