Plum Song is a free track from the forthcoming debut album by Public Spaces, entitled KP---LP.
Public Spaces is an experimental music project set up by Lewis MacDonald which, in this current album, became a 3 year-long collaboration between Lewis and double bassist Alistair Quietsch. As the project grew they later asked other musicians and friends to contribute and record on select tracks; those featuring are Alastair Chivers (Deathpodal & Battery Face), Claire Patterson and Robbie Burry.
The album’s title is an abbreviation for Kinning Park Complex, a volunteer-run artists’ studios in the Southside of Glasgow where the collaborative project grew from February 2011 until late 2013. What initially started off as recorded jams, these later grew and were reworked into set, finalised pieces over the 3 year period. As the recording sessions progressed the two noticed a great similarity in taste, styles and influences ranging from Tom Waits, Swans, 50’s bebop jazz to Steve Reich and Nine Inch Nails. On listening sessions the album has been described as “dark jazz”, “junkyard” and “schizoid”.
