Pictureplane @ Indy Ink
Pictureplane gained some national attention earlier in the year when Health name dropped the act in a Pitchfork "Guest List" column.
Travis Egedy is the man behind Denver electro act Pictureplane. His set started with a skittering M.I.A. sample and continued with high treble assaults that if visualized, would look like sonic equivalents to dirty lasers firing in slow motion. His muddy, muffled singing bordered on the horrible, but it sneaks through without protest underneath a protective cover of lo-fi, sandblasted rhythms from the mixes. In their current form, vocals will never be the strength of Pictureplane, just the same considering the man's best work transpires when in control of the techno nuclear football.
