about

Formed in 2014, as a means to bring David “Irish Dave” Johnston’s expansive assortment of home-recorded demos to life, Spirit Plots continue the journey with the follow up to their self-titled debut LP, Exit Acts. The album was recorded over a weekend at Treehouse Studio in Washington, D.C.–Engineered and mixed by Devin Ocampo (The Effects, Faraquet, Beauty Pill, Medications). Throughout a sequence of enjoyably brief tunes (only 2 songs clock in over the 3 minute mark) the spry trio revel in lively sound bursts, spirited rhythmic twists and tasty fun hooks all while capturing the kinesthetic magic between the off-kilter drums of Sammy Ponzar, the sometimes-angular/sometimes-melodic guitar lines of Javier Diaz and the steady yet creative basslines of David Johnston, whose sing-speak vocals tend to bury any hint of deep meaning under a veil of dated references, and seemingly throwaway non sequiturs.
