The spontaneous creation and release of their first ambient album Placid House won them praise and new listeners. It also prompted systemrhizoma to commission the duo to compose for SCHWELEN, a contemporary dance performance on the themes of the witch-hunt, of defamation, and scapegoating. Soundtrack 1: Schwelen presents this commissioned work and serves as a testimonial of Psycho & Plastic's ever growing artistic vision. The universality of the underlying themes lets the music resonate beyond the scope of the theatre production. With their new EP, Psycho & Plastic take musical and emotional inventory of society's toxic climate in times of a pandemic. Their music has so far won acclaim from international publications such as Data Transmission, FAZEmag, DJ Mag Espana et al, and was championed by the late Andrew Weatherall in his last mix for BBC Radio 6 Music and is starting to spread across a growing number of Playlists. 


Feedback on 2020’s Placid House: “That’s the key to appreciating this album; it’s not gloomy, but questioning. We don’t have answers to how we feel or even where we go from here and as such Placid House is such a valuable artefact of our dislocated and uncertain times.” Jono Podmore/Getintothis
