Plink

Plink is a laboratory experiment in quiet music.

After years of seeking out those certain quiet records that never appear often enough, Scott Evans and Brad Derrick decided to make one themselves. They recruited vocalist Kate Cronin, who was singing with some of DC's most prestigious choral ensembles, and set to work. Evans' and Derrick's studios are 100 miles apart, so they composed and exchanged tracks via the Internet. After fifteen months of intense work, the product was The Sleeping Lines. Its quiet electronics offer slow, delicate songs in the vein of Laurie Anderson, Low, Portishead, or Sigur Ros.

The Sleeping Lines is distributed through Dischord, and can also be purchased from CDbaby.com, Insound.com, and TowerRecords.com.

Evans and Derrick started the tiny Wordclock Records last year; they're growing slowly but surely, since it's hard to run a label while you're gigging and writing music and going to work every day.
