Alabaster DePlume, the stage name of Angus Fairbairn, is an enigmatic British musician, performer, and writer whose expressive work defies easy categorization. Blending experimental folk, jazz, spoken word, and ambient music, DePlume has carved out a unique niche within the contemporary music scene. With his haunting saxophone melodies, distinctive soft-spoken vocals, and poetic wisdom, his compositions offer a deeply introspective journey, often infused with a wry sense of humor and socio-political commentary.

DePlume's work has a theatrical quality, merging performance art with a communal sensibility that invites audience reflection and participation. Early releases like “The Jester” and “Peach” established his unconventional approach to songwriting, while recent offerings such as "To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1" illustrate his impressive range and depth. Standout tracks like "Come With Fierce Grace" and "Don't Forget You're Precious" have resonated with audiences for their beautiful arrangements and heartfelt messages. A fixture in the UK's underground music scene and beyond, Alabaster DePlume continues to gain acclaim for his ability to blend music and poetry into a unique and evocative art form.
