The Fathers of Geography

“The Fathers of Geography” is a heartfelt project that spans years.  The idea was conceived in the head of our drummer during a ferry ride in June 2014, returning from a couple of gigs in The Netherlands. 


Recording Journey

We started recording in September 2014.  Unbeknownst to us, it would take almost a decade to complete this project.  Many significant life events, and a global pandemic, all meant that we took our time carefully crafting the tracks so that we can present to the world us at our best.

  3. Pop Quiz

Explicit vs. Clean Versions

We understand that sensibilities vary.  That’s why we’re offering both an explicit and a clean version of the album.  Whether you want to dive headfirst into the raw emotions or prefer a more sanitised experience, we’ve got you covered.


Streaming

“The Fathers of Geography” is available on all major streaming platforms starting June 1st 2024 via the  links below:

Bandcamp

For our devoted fans and fellow music explorers, we’ve curated something truly special—a Deluxe Edition of our album, currently only available exclusively on Bandcamp, and in an extremely limited physical double disc CD, available exclusively at our gigs.  This edition takes you behind the scenes, offering a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered evolution of our songs.

What can you expect from this musical treasure trove? 

  • Demos and Live Versions:
    These are the embryonic versions—the sketches on napkins, the late-night whispers in dimly lit studios or the sweaty music venues that were The Pitz and MADCAP.  You’ll hear the before—the moments when inspiration struck, and melodies were born.  Imperfections and all, these demos capture the essence of our creative process.

As PlasticSole, we’ve embarked on a voyage—one that spans years, countries, and emotions.  With this Deluxe Edition, you can trace our footsteps.  From the beginning, through that ferry ride back in 2014 to the countless late nights in the studio, every note carries a story.  It’s a testament of our growth, our camaraderie, and our unwavering love for music.

So, fellow travelers, head over to Bandcamp and immerse yourself in the full experience of “The Fathers of Geography.”  Let the demos whisper secrets, and the live versions transport you to the venues of yesteryear.  This is where our songs shed their skins and reveal their souls.

Remember: Music isn’t just about the final product; it’s about the journey that echoes through every chord and lyric.
