About Plunkett
Plunkett: an English boy and an Italian girl.
Both Ian and Lara had a love for music from a very early age.
After studying music at Rome, writing and recording with the ambient project Ex Machina, alternative electro pop group Otero, and electro/breakbeat duo Left-Right, Lara became a partner and A&R and producer of Dune Records, an independent italian label based in Florence.
Ian had always played in bands since the age of 10, and after finally finding like minded musicians the electro psychedelic rock band ‘Pukromo' was born.
In late 1999 Pukromo signed to Dune Records recording their debut album ‘Promise Me Kill Me' during 2000.
Life’s funny sometimes and although the label and band folded, Ian and Lara got together.
Frustrated by the mechanisms and ties of the music biz and tired of their ‘electronic’ past, they focused on their emotions, on themselves. Without any thought or the pressure of trying be anything other than that. Themselves.
In 2006 their debut album ’14 Days’ was released. An acoustic orientated, intimate album of alternative contemporary folk rock. The album received an unexpected critic and listener's acclaim through the internet leading them to being featured artists on some of the most important independent music sites throughout the world.
2008 sees the release of Plunkett’s second album ‘Folk Songs’, a record of simple appearance and direct delivery, through which the couple give their story and vision through honest songs, with a style that reminds that of the marvellous Richard and Linda Thompson albums during the 70’s.
Plunkett make independent music for independent minds.
