The Planchettes just released a new video for “Empress of Fools, ” out today on their new record, The Truth, via Rise Above Records.
“The type of music we play is just an extension of the unbridled raw emotion that lies right beneath the surface of our skin,” says bassist Tralita. “Whether it feels elated or distorted or sloppy or scared or harmonious or angry or sexy or manic or like a revelation from the divine, we are all these things. The music is the vibrations of our energy. A primal scream. The blood that feeds. I personally have always been attracted music that leaves no doubt in my mind that humans have a soul. Songs that show teeth.”
“Most songs I write are thoughts and emotion that I’ve processed as a sort of therapy and put onto paper,” the frontman explains. “But on a simpler level, I write what I think will get people moving. The spirit of rock ‘n’ roll has always been an uncontrollable force in a person’s soul, and I love watching people twitch and gyrate to a song that I’ve written.”
