Plant43 releases protective ambient electronics on Spells For Warding Off Evil

Plant43 releases Spells For Warding Off Evil on 12 May via Silver Threads, a release that immediately carries a strong conceptual mood. The title suggests electronic music as protection: not escapism exactly, but a kind of sound-made boundary against pressure, noise and psychic clutter.

The available track Spheres of Protection fits that idea perfectly, and the release’s tags place it in the zone of electronic, IDM, ambient, drone, experimental and techno. Plant43’s work has often appealed to listeners who like electronic music with structure, elegance and atmosphere rather than brute force alone, and this album seems to lean into that strength.

The physical edition is also part of the appeal: a six-panel digipack with design and illustration by Plant43, released through Silver Threads, a label founded in 2025 by Jo Johnson. That gives the project a tactile and curated feeling, even as the music itself works in digital, abstract and spatial forms.
