"Portland, Oregon's Plants are blossoming into one of the most expansive ensembles emanating out of today's psychedelic underground. Formed by the wedded musical partners Joshua and Molly Blanchard to explore delicate acid-folk terrain, Plants have evolved well beyond their sparse and mystical roots to sail along a rich and diverse confluence of mind-enhancing streams. 2006 bore witness to a trilogy of recordings, from the quivering folk of their debut
The Mind is a Bird in the Hand
(Audio Dregs) to music captured in yurts and bunkers along the Oregon coast (
Totem
CDR, Audio Dregs) and the pillow-prog odyssey
Double Infinity
. Reaching deep within, Plants unfurl
Photosynthesis
, a haunting foray into gently rippling netherworlds. Aptly named,
Photosynthesis
illustrates the subtle skill in which Plants extract and blend a variety of sounds to concoct a heady elixir of minimalist psychedelia. A rotating cast of support for the husband and wife core offers a diverse array of instrumentation, including acoustic/electric guitars, cello, singing saw, organ, electric tones, and a guest appearance from Jason Buehler of the band Nice Nice on banjo and 'piano box.' Gently swirled together, Plants invoke images of a quiet solstice ritual involving early Popol Vuh, the fusion-folk of C.O.B., and a flower-powered, V.U.-era John Cale. Haunting and ethereal,
Photosynthesis
is a fresh new perspective from the West Coast folk-psych scene."
