Planet Earth - What More / Falling Into Love

All meadow-skipping and hand-holding.

With all things folk proliferating at a rate that our twee flatcaps can hardly keep track of, London trio Planet Earth couldn’t have picked a better time to hop, skip and jump onto the musical radar.

Their quaint offering in the shape of ‘What More’, a four and a half minute ode to the heartache of a love lost, is nigh on impossible not to fall for. With its spine-tingling vocals, slow moving pace and orchestral soundtrack , the likiness to the post-Marling work of Noah And The Whale is immediately conjured, making it easy to see why Planet Earth were been picked as support for the band back in 2008.

Still endearingly simplistic, second track ‘Falling Into Love’ is equally captivating. All meadow-skipping and hand-holding, the band echo a slightly more docile and less erratic Los Campesinos!

Harmless twee at its best.
