About

Plüm was formed in the summer of 2018 as an outlet for the emotions we most often repress. Their debut EP Rainbow Drive is lavish with the youthful musings of songwriter Mitchell Kresge, who felt as if he was unable to earnestly explore these themes of unrequited love, loss, and acceptance with previous bands. Originally accompanied only by pianist Dawson Kerch, his efforts were revitalized with the instrumental talents of Lehigh Valley mainstays Ben Lovell and Felix Wheatfield, who aided in fully realizing his vision of a world where pop could be just a bit more honest. Now making their home in eastern Pennsylvania, Plüm seeks to marry emo with insight in a way seldom seen outside of the early works of Panic! At the Disco or Fall Out Boy. The core of Kresge’s songwriting is variety, often daring arrangements, and just giving it the old college try (ironic considering none of the current members ever fully attended college). The outfit’s most recent release, alt0252, is a far cry from the simplified acoustics of their previous work. Preceded by blazing EDM single "Karma Sutra" and the Imagine Dragons-styled "Once More (feat. Courtney Calle)," this left-field outing retools the Plüm formula to appeal to fans of underground electronic, while still standing by the more progressive elements that set their songs apart in the first place. The originals’ magic is not forgotten either - in spite of Kerch’s departure, surprise piano ballad "The Secret" closes out the six-track EP with some of the group’s quaintest yet most meaningful lyricism to date.
