Description/Review:

"Don't be fooled by the title of Seattle-based Plan B's first full-length I'm The Captain, Where Are We Going? Spearheaded by James van Leuven, Plan B know exactly what direction they're headed with their blend of rock, pop, and electronic. Crisp, programmed beats and wobbly guitar notes make an unlikely pairing with the feather-like quality of the vocals, yet somehow the many musical elements, along with the numerous guests artists, merge into a single, enjoyable entity on the album" - Xlr8r, November 2006



Plan B - Keepsake(2003, Paris, France, Ggoo22)



Track 01. Latchkey Kid

Track 02. Why Is It?

Track 03. Systemitis

Track 04. Untitled

Track 05. In Search Of.



Description/Review:

".Eschewing a lead voice, Plan B prefers to leave something open to the listener's imagination. Their sound can't really be described on paper. Alternating electronic tones, trip hop bass, and hip hop beats; all interwoven into abstract compositions and vague constructions. The vocals seems more like murmurs. The five experimental tracks form a strong whole that fits together perfectly. The cello on 'why is it?" or the dark moods of "systemitis" always fit. "Keepsake" is a different sort of ambient music, that delves in all areas to create an irreal music. On "untitled" the guitar is reminiscent of a post rock experiment, while the electronic feel quickly returns for "in search of". No time to get comfortable, Plan B changes colors with each track, without loosing itself in tiresome experimentation." - Liability, FR, March 2003

Description/Review:

"Plan B's 2002 CD, Like a Ship Sailing, is better understood when compared with Land of the Loops' 1996 release, Bundle of Joy. Both are similar in that they share a fondness for bizarre samples and beautiful sound effects generated by dusty equipment. But the differences between the artists (Plan B is James van Leuven; Land of the Loops is Alan Sutherland) are more instructive. As with Beck's album Odelay, Land of the Loops' hiphop beats are separate from and work in counterpoint to the alternative-rock melodies. Plan B's music has no such division; everything instead seems organic and indigenous. This is why van Leuven's music is startling: it's not novel (like Beck's) or experimental (like Land of the Loops'), but authentic." - Charles Mudede, The Stranger Weekly Newspaper, October 2002
