Watch: Planet Drop New Single/Video "Information Overload"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have dropped the video for their new single "Information Overload".

The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Information Overload', set to arrive on March 11, 2022. Pre-order your copy here.

An indie pop booster, ‘Information Overload’ is about there being so much stuff going on in the world that it can be too much to even process thoughts at times.

The visuals dip in between an efficiency clip and news products from the past, matching the previous/ present vibes of the lyrics themselves.

Frontaman Matty Took says: ” We desired the video for ‘Information Overload’ to be as extreme and erratic as humanly possible so the concept was to make 3 different clips and include impacted news clipping and advertisements. The end product was shooting these clips predicted on old TV/broadcast screens – rather clearly representing the title of the tune, however discreetly highlighting how when there is a lot going on you can’t believe at all or do anything with clearness.”

Watch: Planet Release New Single/Video "Need More"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have released the video for their new single "Need More".

The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'Information Overload', set to arrive on March 11, 2022. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it, frontman Matty Took says: “‘Need More’ has been in the vault for a few years but pretty much with only the pre-chorus done,” explains Took. “There were a few variations of it – slow, fast, folky… ultimately, we decided to revamp it with a fat beat and big guitar strums.”

“It’s the first time we’ve had a piano feature more prominently on a track. We also explored the synth world a bit and tried to push the song a bit further sonically. For me, it’s definitely a bit of a curveball track on the album and I can’t wait to play it live.”

Planet Announce Debut Album 'Information Overload'

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have announced the release of their highly-anticipated debut studio album 'Information Overload'.

The 12-track record will feature recent singles ‘Resign’ and ‘Ship Won’t Change’, and will be out on March 11, 2022. Pre-order your copy here.

Sonically 'Information Overload' feels like a warm, whisky-soaked dream. With moments that conjure memories of The Verve or The War On Drugs, it’s an album that feels bright and effervescent. Each song floats from one to the next, with an atmosphere that permeates the entire thing.

Frontman Matty Took described the recording process as “a bit of an Ocean’s Eleven sort of vibe”, with the band tracking most of it in a clandestine fashion.

“I met this guy at a party,” Took explained. “We were kind of on a bit of a bender and he was like, ‘I work at AIM [the Australian Institute of Music]. I do all the troubleshooting for their microphones. Man, no one’s using the studio, you should just come in and record.’”

Lead guitarist Tommy Peppit noted that the band spent roughly two years working on ‘Information Overload’, producing and mixing it themselves alongside collaborator Adrian Bushby (Muse, Foo Fighters, U2). “We’ve put a lot of effort into it and we all feel pretty comfy with it now,” he said.

“Every track has its purpose and I feel Matty has definitely opened up lyrically a bit more touching on struggles that most of us face in relation to mental health and relationships.”

Check out the album's tracklist and revisit the video for their latest single 'Ship Won't Change'  below.

Tracklist: 

01. Lost My Honesty

02. Hard To Come By

Watch: Planet Unveil New Single/Video "Ship Won't Change"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have unveiled the video for their newest single "Ship Won't Change".

The song, produced by the band themselves alongside Foo Fighters and Muse collaborator Adrian Bushby, is out today (September 29). Get it here.

Speaking about it, frontman Matty Took says: “‘Ship Won’t Change’ was a latecomer to the mix of album songs – the song itself came together pretty easily as it’s a classic folk tune at heart. I sent the demo over to Tommy [Peppitt, guitarist] and he came back straight away with that vibey guitar that comes in the second verse. He added some cool synth and string sounds which were eventually tracked for real by Pete Whitfield in Manchester. During the mixing process, we wanted to add in harmonies – Lily & Grace from CLEWS came to mind straight away. They came round and nailed the whole song in like 30 mins. The lyrics are about being in a relationship but always feeling like it could fuck up at any time, so much that it makes you feel whack. The ‘ship’, being the relationship and trying to keep it from changing.”

The song is part of our current playlist and came out  is part of out on August 11. Get it here.

Speaking about it, frontman Matty Took says: “Resign is a pop summer anthem with the instrumentation hitting you straight in the face. Lyrically it’s about not being enough in someone’s eyes, and it affects you to the point of collapse but trying to break past it to make it work.”

Guitarist Tom Peppitt adds: “It’s the first track we’ve released that was written completely in lockdown. I had the chorus laying in the vault and sent it back and forth with Matty, fleshing it out and finishing it off. It was an obvious first single choice for us, doesn’t stray too far from our sound and is super upbeat and catchy.”

New Entry: Planet Premiere New Single "Never New"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have premiered their new single "Never New".

About the song, guitarist Tom Peppitt said: “I recorded the instrumental basis for that song like four or five years ago. Matt went away to New Zealand and I was just doing a couple of studio sessions myself, and I just pumped that out. It didn’t have any vocals on it for a very long time and just stayed instrumental. This song wasn’t even a front runner for the EP at all. It kind of just came together.”

“We had this old chorus lying around for ages and just decided to swap it in,” Matt adds. “Then we were like, ‘Now it’s a single.’”

Watch: Planet Unleash Music Video For "Save.Sold"

Sydney indie rock/pop band Planet have unleashed the video for their latest single "Save.Sold".

The song is part of our current playlistand is taken from their forthcoming debut EP, expected later this year.

About the song, guitarist Tom Peppitt said: “It’s a big step in a different direction to our last tune ‘Aching Dream’, this one having more drive and grit to it, but the two tracks set the tone for our forthcoming EP. We felt like ‘Save.Sold’ had a lot of organic energy when we were jamming it up in the Central Coast, so Matt and I spent our time in the studio pulling dirtier guitar tones and bigger sounds. It’s got a real industrial vibe to it and is definitely one of the heavier tracks off the EP.”

The video was directed by Toby Goodman. Check out below.
