Following his striking single ‘Good Thing’ (ft. Natalie Slade), Melbourne-based award winning artist and producer Plutonic Lab combines forces with charismatic vocalist Olivier St. Louis to release the magnetic new single ‘Long Slow’. Illustrating peculiar and mischievous soundscapes, Plutonic Lab showcases great expertise in melody and arrangement, curating an absorbing foundation to exalt Olivier St. Louis’ unmatched character. 

A mysterious and enticing atmosphere is set from the beginning with an eerie synth motif. Playing with imaging, a compelling drum beat, and bringing a sound Sci-Fi-esque palette to the table, Plutonic Lab presents great freshness and establishes himself as a musical force to be reckoned with. Accompanied by a dark bassline, Olivier St. Louis brings the track to life with an alluring contrast of theatrics and soul in his vocals. The call and response backing vocals provide the track with riveting harmonic and lyrical layers, unveiling a vivid sensory experience for listeners.

Just when Plutonic Lab “thought this record was getting a little too sweet and lush, Olivier St. Louis delivers the hardest, spookiest, funked up feature I’ve had the pleasure of producing, and it’s fun as all hell too”. 

About the captivating lyrics, Olivier St. Louis explains that “Despite our experiences in building friendships throughout the course of life, we often fail to learn from our mistakes. Sometimes we keep far too many wrong people for reasons far less important than we believe. ‘Long slow’ is about the effort it takes to recognize and remove the chaff in our lives, and to never let it back in.”

‘Long Slow’ offers an insight to Plutonic Lab’s forthcoming EP ‘New Ruins’ releasing on June 11th 2021.

Plutonic Lab Feat. Olivier St. Louis - Long Slow

The brand new EP from APRA Award and Mercury Prize winning producer and musician Plutonic Lab is here: NEW RUINS. The EP is a six track collection of music that takes in a wide range of creative and sonic influences, perfectly mirroring Plutonic Lab’s own diverse repertoire.

Featuring a striking list of guest artists including Black Milk, Oliver St. Louis, Raiza Biza and frequent collaborator Natalie Slade, ‘The New Ruins EP’ also employs the talent of a new wave of strong emerging voices in Hip Hop and R&B in Nardean, Ratu Da Cheef and Sunny Reyne.

Produced and arranged by Plutonic Lab himself out of Habitat 69 in Melbourne, the New Ruins EP has that inimitable Pluto feel right throughout. The production quality is crisp; percussion patterns blend beautifully with brass and beat arrangements.

It’s a masterclass in what Plutonic Lab does and is known for. And yet, it’s an evolution for the artist too. The orchestration of songs like ‘Casino In The Sky’ and ‘Long Slow’ are textured and hold weight as standalone efforts; then you’ve got the likes of ‘Good Thing’ and ‘Falling’, two examples of Plutonic Lab’s expert touch when it comes to soul and R&B production.

The process of making the EP was an involved one that took time but in the end, the rewards clearly speak for themselves.

“In the process of writing this record I proved to myself that I’m still progressing and evolving as an artist, I really got to develop the orchestrations and song craft. Each collaborator inspired diverse compositions and I think in turn “The New Ruins” became a much more nuanced and honed project. I guess good things take time and I dedicated myself to create something beautiful and worthwhile, even though the world seemed like it was falling apart.”
