3 by Plankton

PLANKTON also features an amazing rhythm section (groove machine) in the form of TOMAS THORBERG on bass, SEBASTIAN SIPPOLA on drums and LARS NORMALM on percussion who are all incredible players in their own rite and who add immensely to the overall PLANKTON sound/vibe. Combining mad playing skills, strong powerful compositions and armed with an arsenal of vintage STRATS and MARSHALLS (along with a mountain of vintage stomp boxes, bass & drum gear), PLANKTON has authentically & legitimately captured and created an incredible retro-70’s sound complete with their own style/vibe/musical voice that is truly inspirational on many levels.

Gaining world-wide critical acclaim and a growing underground cult following status with their two exceptional previous discs (PLANKTON & HUMBLE COLOSSUS), PLANKTON has taken their extraordinary music deeper on “3” and crafted an utterly distinct, flawless and blisteringly beautiful musical attack. On their latest and most perfect disc to date, PLANKTON has worked their talented asses off, producing and crafting an amazing work of instrumental guitar-art complete with an impeccably perfect mix and sonic delivery that is world-class in every detail. With “3”, PLANKTON has created their version of “Electric Ladyland”, or in this case,“Electric Plankton-Land”. Also worthy of mention, on “3” the band shows great respect to their Swedish roots, both in musical tradition and in the artwork/layout for the disc which features a cover and various artwork by famed Swedish fantasy artist Hans Arnold, of whom the band are huge fans/admirers. Plankton does Sweden and the “guitar world” proud on “3” with their brilliant, classic, out of this world “pure heavy guitar beauty”.

The PLANKTON: “3” disc is HIGHLY recommended to fans of HENDRIX (long live the musical spirit of JIMI), ROBIN TROWER, FRANK MARINO, ULI JON ROTH, MICHAEL SCHENKER, LESLIE WEST & MOUNTAIN, CREAM, TOMMY BOLIN, JEFF BECK, ERIC JOHNSON, STEVE MORSE, GREG KOCH, MICHAEL LANDAU, WARREN HAYNES & GOV’T MULE, ALLMAN BROS, WISHBONE ASH, and all of the “old-school” classic guitar greats. Fans of their two amazing previous discs (PLANKTON & HUMBLE COLOSSUS) will be blown away completely by the awesome beyond all human comprehension diverse, bluesy heavy guitar grooves that landed on the “3” disc.

What sets PLANKTON apart from the 56 million other instrumental guitar bands out there in “guitarland” is their ability to write strong, timeless, diverse, complex, elegant & sophisticated “compostions” (songs) that are not mere shred-fest’s, but are are outstanding “musical vehicles”, enhanced by their incredible playing abilities and original styles on their instruments. PLANKTON: “3” is a guitarist’s dream where the emphasis is clearly on the music.
