Plumes

About

Plumes is a 4-piece indie rock/folk/pop group from Boston, MA. Through 2 albums and 4 EPs, they’ve established a robust catalogue of songs driven by melodic guitar lines, vocal harmonies, introspective + sincere lyrics, and sneakily complex rhythm sections, which they bring together with gusto in their unfailingly energetic live shows. Plumes consists of John Thorsen (bass, guitar, vox), Ben Long (drums, vox), and Tim Green (guitar, vox), with Clio Fleece completing the live lineup (bass, piano, vox). Plumes formed in early 2016 through phone calls between John and Tim, wherein they decided to release a group of 4 songs John had written and recorded in their college dorm room (The Negligent Biome - EP). John enlisted Ben for the project, his longtime friend and high school bandmate (the Rhode Island-based Roslyn), and the two played a few shows under the monicker Uncle Jerry and the Meat Sweats. In 2017, John completed writing and recording a sister EP to The Negligent Biome. The release of the Man of the Year EP was marked with the first official Plumes show, featuring John, Ben, and Tim switching between multiple instruments to perform both EPs to a friend’s (and visual art collaborator’s) packed apartment. The band has since honed their sound through the release of two LPs: In Lieu of Essays (2018) and TEA (2019), as well as two more EPs: Acoustic Microwave Background I (2018) and Here's To Then (2022).
