PLUME RELEASE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “!REAL SPIRIT! CAUGHT ON TAPE” — WATCH + LISTEN
PLUME don’t ease into a release — they make an entrance you can’t ignore.
With “!REAL SPIRIT! Caught On Tape,” the emo/alternative force push things further into their own lane — raw, unfiltered, and wired with a kind of restless energy that refuses to sit still. It’s chaotic in the right places, intentional where it needs to be, and carried by a pulse that feels more like a moment than just a song.
Following the impact of their previous release “Digital Waterboarding,” the band double down on everything that made people pay attention in the first place — but sharper, louder, and more defined.
Freshly signed to Arising Empire, PLUME aren’t here to follow what’s already happening around them. There’s a new wave forming — rougher around the edges, more expressive, less predictable — and “!REAL SPIRIT! Caught On Tape” sits right at the center of it. Not by calculation, but by instinct.
Blending emo sensibilities with alternative grit and a visual identity shaped by distortion, nostalgia and digital overload, the band create something that feels immediate and alive. It’s not polished for comfort — it’s built to leave a mark.
