“Come Out of the Dark is a simple rejection of isolation and aloneness. Following months of quarantining, the song is a thinly veiled allusion to the pandemic and the social and political conflicts that have carved chasms both internally and externally. The video - depicting a stranded space traveler - is a metaphor for the desolation from which the country, the world, and perhaps you are emerging,” says David Mosey.
London Plane is a juggernaut of a band, made up of David Mosey (guitar and vocals), Jessica Cole (vocals), Bryan Garbe (drums), Grant Parker (bass), Julian Tulip (synths) and Kristofer Widholm (guitar). Their roots trace back to 2014 backstage at a tribute show to the recently deceased Lou Reed, when Psychedelic Furs' Joe McGinty introduced David to Jessica, who were both performing.
Their new collection of tracks is electrified, possessed, pulsing and relentless. The content was greatly informed by several internal tragedies faced by band members during its production, including the deaths of family members, along with the tumultuous political situation that saw the ascension of villains. Where the vocals let in some hope, the bass snarls like something Lemmy would be proud of, the drums rumble and hiss, and the serrated guitar preens as cold as a weapon of mass destruction.
