Plantoid Sets January 2026 Release for Second Album 'Flare' and Unveils Six-Minute Single 'Dozer'

The trio signals a groovier turn under returning producer Nathan Ridley.

Overview

  • Flare is due January 30, 2026 on Bella Union, with a nine-song tracklist published from Parasite to Daisy Chains.
  • Lead single Dozer arrives with a video at roughly six minutes, described by the band as a search for comfort in noise with a motorik 70s Krautrock pulse.
  • The group frames the record as less overtly proggy, favoring sustained grooves and fully developed ideas over rapid shifts.
  • Producer Nathan Ridley returns after shaping the debut Terrapath, working with core members Louis Bradshaw, Chloe Spence and Tom Coyne.
  • A February–March 2026 UK and Ireland tour is announced, including London’s Moth Club and stops in Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh, Bristol, Brighton and Dublin.
