Ghost Box saying physical release delayed indefinitely, but digital release will go ahead as scheduled to help Plone with some income.

does the preorder date remain the same?

[Rubin Farr]

I think that's what they're saying?  April 17 digital release , pre-orders live.

My CD just got dispatched

[Nebraska]

listened to this: it's okay. the first half was definitely more interesting than the first. there are a few tracks that sounded to me more like video game tracks which removes it from the children's library music aesthetic. 'the model village' is probably my favorite track as it has a nice disorientating bouncy rhythm, and 'red kite' has a chilling wobbly feel to it- but the rest of the record isn't as well defined.

Will listen when it arrives

If they're still basically doing variations on the moomins themetune then count me in

Just heard it too. The two tracks you mentioned are indeed probably the best. It feels to me as if GhostBox are trying to shoehorn Plone into their label. I don't think it works as while this album is a fairly pedestrian selection of quirky (almost chip tune quality) tracks, it's a million miles away from the kind of creepy, haunting 70s nostalgia that the label once offered. That's more a reflection on GB than Plone. Also, if you're a fan of Beginner Piano, this will be disappointing - at least it was for me.

Just listened to this. I think it has a more exciting sound than half of what was on For Beginner Piano, but it doesn't have that album's highs for me, such as Busy Working.

Just listened to it as well. It sounds pretty Plone to me. Some nice choons, dunno what y'all expected from a new Plone album.

Plock ep was peak plone 

Don't think I've even listened to a plone song in over 20 years

This is the only Plone song I ever heard but it stuck in my head forever, so beautiful

Great to see them resurface
