DREAM

Based in Memphis, Tennessee, the Fast Planet project is the latest installment of musical endeavors pursued by the band’s core members. The type of work can be best classified as ambient electronic pop.

Jes, their first self-produced album, mixed by James Joseph (Myla Smith, Ryan Peel) and mastered by Brad Blackwood (Against Me, Maroon 5, Allison Krauss, The Black Eyed Peas), marked the first chapter in a series of deeply moving, provocative and alluring electronic outings. The album’s nine songs, which delve into very personal themes of love and loss, demonstrated a clarity of purpose and vision realized through the band’s commitment to exploration and discovery in areas of music which may have once eluded them.

2014 marks a new chapter in Fast Planet's existence. They have leased and built out a studio/performance space in midtown Memphis to focus on their next full-length album and host shows. The band has teamed again with graphic artist, Michael Carpenter, and engineer, James Joseph, to create the vision for new material. On April 25th, they hosted their first curated event, an intimate performance by Damien Jurado, in their new midtown space. On April 30th, Fast Planet introduced their first single, “These Places,” off of their forthcoming album to be released late summer 2014.

Press

“The first such release comes to us in the form of the standalone single “Mr. Conversation”. Here, the band downplay some of their sparser, more wide-open tendencies, crafting a downtempo groove of rumbling drums, interstellar synths, and whiserpy vocals. The slight shift in approach definitely suits the band, who manage to balance a sense of sensual intimacy with an undercurrent of profound immediacy and impact.”
- Consequence of Sound

“This album is for the experimentalists. The dreamers. If music is your escape vehicle of choice, then Jes is your Ryan Gosling. It is your driver.”
- Pigeons and Planes

“Jes is a record permissible of an emotional healing. Each of the nine glorious tracks contain sedated electronic melodies and a honest, charismatic voice. The music is pieced together by gentle spaces and harmonies, all balanced to a satisfactory ambiance. It’s the same kind of sensation as your open palms slowly swishing through water on a hot summer day. You won’t grow tired from Fast Planet because each beat refreshes and tingles your senses intimately and physically, like your hands in ice cool water, you want to keep your body in an open comfortable place.”
