12:55 AM - Planes for Spaces
Planes for Spaces are one of those "it came from Myspace" bands. Or rather more accurately, "it came from D, who spends all day scouring Myspace, knee-deep in crappy bands, dragging the great finds up to the surface." In this case, she recommended the band for a Beg Yr Pardon show (which they are playing - BYP2 on June 20th at the Delancey!) and we all went "bwuh?" as we'd never heard of them. But there you have it, they've been booked, so obviously we liked what we heard when we finally did. They have a sort of slow dark groove thing going one, a little Joy Division (no not like Interpol, I mean LIKE JOY DIVISION) with some Cure-ish gothiness and even Sonic Youth-style noise and indie rock standby moves - with yelping and singing and hissing and purring and crescendos and sudden stops like you wouldn't believe. Don't forget the delay and reverb - this stuff is dripping with it. Here's the only track available for download, but do yourself a favor and listen to the others available on Myspace. Planes For Spaces - "Dream Number One" Get a first taste this Thursday when Planes for Spaces play an early 8pm set at Sin-e, then see them again in a month when they come back from their home of Minnesota for BYP2. By the way, I do realize that this Robotinev (as I've started calling the robot band drawing I've been doing here on Subinev lately) is one of the less impressive ones in terms of details and such... don't worry, the next one is really good - at least I think so. I know one pesky commentor that will be happy, at least.
