Xylen Roberts-Plaid The Pimp Tailor 3:Wormhole To Indonesia (Full album; 2023)
Summer may be officially over but the battle between good and evil wages on, in tropical summery type environments or otherwise. 'Plaid The Pimp Tailor 3:Wormhole To Indonesia' is one such tale, the third in the Plaid series, but released before the first 2 in an unintentionally confusing manor similar to classic Star Wars. The first 2 and subsequently the remaining 4 installments will come later, as will their instrumental Mythshifter equivalents (other than Soothsayer 1 &2), so 14 installments when all is said and done. They basically follow the adventures of a redpilled hero/musician named Plaid and his friends (including longstanding character Hyper Dolphin) as they travel various world environments (spooky rural, winter, tropical/ocean, desert, jungle, pretend space and finally sky) uncovering Illuminati secrets and battling evil. In this particular set of albums (Wormhole To Indonesia and its instrumental Mythshifter accompaniment coming soon called Soothsayer 3: Surf Rockin' Apocalypso) Plaid and crew travel to various tropical island and submerged underwater places to do just that. Don't want to give away too much, the songs and related spoken word segues will explain more.
Genrewise it experiments with everything from indie samba rock, dark film noire bossanovas, subaquatic hiphop, gothic apocalyptic surf rock, post exotica and much more. Lyrics coming sometime soon to either a separate video or somewhere online (Gumroad likely but I am possibly getting back onto Bandcamp via my friend Patrick's new label so stay tuned). Until then, message me if you are confused about any lyrics.
Stay tuned for the next Plaid installments. In the meantime, go listen to the instrumental accompaniment to this album Soothsayer 3 as well as the Halloween inspired Soothsayer 1 & the desolate winter vibes of Soothsayer 2 by Mythshifter (available here, for purchase on Gumroad and other places) to immerse yourself deeper into this wild psychedelic world.
All songs written, performed and recorded by Xylen Roberts (Chris Robertson). Music performed by Xylen Roberts using keyboards, vocals, drums and programming.
