Transcription
History
Before performing as Planning for Burial, Wasluck played in local bands and recorded music with his 4 track recorder.[1] In 2009, he released his debut album, Leaving, which was re-released by Enemies List Home Recordings in 2010.[2][3] Following the re-release of the album, Wasluck recorded and released a series of tapes, EPs and splits in the following years.[3]
In 2014, Planning for Burial released its second studio album, Desideratum, through The Flenser record label.[3] In 2016, Planning for Burial released the As a Lover single through New York based record label The Native Sound.[4] Planning for Burial has shared the stage with a wide range of music acts, including Chelsea Wolfe, Have A Nice Life and Deafheaven.[5]
Musical style
Planning for Burial's music takes influences from a wide array of genres, and is labeled as "gloomgaze"[5] and "experimental metal."[6] According to Pitchfork critic Andy O'Connor, Thom Wasluck of Planning for Burial "filters post-metal, doom, ambient, and goth-rock through his own terminally miserable lens."[3] Vice described the band as "a fully-contained, one-man band who delves into shoegaze, metal, black metal and other elements to craft somber, emotional songs," and compared its style to those of English post-metal band Jesu.[7] New Noise Magazine argued that the act's sound "contains elements of slowcore, shoegaze, doom, drone, '90s alt rock, '80s goth, and black metal, while never being defined by any one of those genres."[5] Jason Cook of PopMatters also drew parallels between the band's debut studio album, Leaving, and Nine Inch Nails' 1999 album, The Fragile.[2]
Wasluck releases Planning for Burial on various mediums, including on floppy disks and cassette tape.
