Emerging from the tumult of the pandemic and fueled by a passion for social change, Plutocracy Planet emerges as a sociopolitical super-collective – which reminds me of Worker & Parasite – spearheaded by Scott Morrow.
The lead single from Plutocracy Planet’s debut album, “This Very Severity” – features emo luminary Bob Nanna – serves as a reflection on fractured reality and the specter of a dystopian future. The music video captures Nanna in the role of a disillusioned news anchor, unraveling in the face of societal decay.
This project mixes post-hardcore elements with electronic beats, and an array of instruments: including strings, saxophone, piano, harp, marimba, and acoustic guitar. With over two dozen vocalists and instrumentalists from hardcore, hip hop, emo, avant-garde, and pop backgrounds – which all feature extensively spreaded throughout Plutocracy Planet’s debut LP – exploring themes of greed, inequality, and the pervasive influence of money in politics. However, its scope extends far beyond, touching on topics like the cult of personality, fear-driven media, police brutality, toxic masculinity, religious extremism, and environmental degradation.
Plutocracy Planet’s debut album features a lineup of collaborators, including Jonah Matranga, Matt Pryor, Mike Kinsella, and Liam Wilson, among others. With its thought-provoking lyrics, dynamic instrumentation, and diverse roster of talent, the album promises to be a bold and unforgettable sonic journey. “It’s unbelievable to me that I get to work with the people on this album,” says Scott Morrow, who wrote the foundation for each song. “I’ve been a fan—in many cases a super fan— of many of them for 20 to 25 years. It’s a mind-blowing honor that they said yes, and I still don’t really know how the hell I convinced them.”
