Plantoid is a fiery psych-rock-jazz outfit from Brighton, UK, blending prog precision, sprawling grooves, and experimental vibes that pull from Miles Davis, Todd Rundgren, and '70s hard rock into a wild primordial soup. The band kicked off as the brainchild of vocalist/guitarist **Chloe Spence** and lead guitarist **Tom Coyne**, who bonded over eclectic psych rock while studying music at Lincoln College in their teens, roping in drummer **Louis Bradshaw** (Tom's old school pal) to form Mangö and gig around town before relocating south. They beefed up to a four-piece (sometimes five with percussionist Nathan) by adding bassist **Bernardo Larisch**, signed to Bella Union, and dropped their debut album *Terrapath*—a dizzying prog rush—before following it with the groove-heavy *Flare* in early 2026, packed with tracks like "Dozer," "Ultivatum Cultivation," and "Good For You."
With Chloe's soaring, angelic-yet-alien vocals leading the charge over Tom's lush riffs, Louis' jazz-infused beats, and Bernardo's elastic basslines, Plantoid thrives on emotional, boundary-pushing songwriting and live energy that's lit up spots like The Great Escape and Mutations festivals. They're all about evolution, never repeating themselves, and turning personal stories—like Chloe's dog Poppy inspiring "Dog's Life"—into chaotic, captivating soundscapes that feel both epic and intimate.
