Brooks Dierker, the creative force behind Plovver, emerges from the ashes of the San Francisco music scene with a fresh and introspective sound that bridges the gap between cinematic psych drone and emotional storytelling. Once known for his work with the band The HA (aka The Human Assembly), Dierker has redefined his artistic identity with Plovver, carving out a niche that is both deeply personal and profoundly resonant.
Plovver’s debut track, “Foolish Waters (of Love),” is a mesmerizing homage to the odyssey of love, exploring its turbulent waters and the lingering tenderness of hope. Released in the fall of 2023, this track is a testament to Dierker’s ability to blend cinematic elements with psych drone textures, creating a soundscape that is both haunting and comforting. The track, produced by Bay Area stalwart Charles Gonzalez, was recorded during the shelter-in-place era, capturing a sense of isolation and introspection that adds depth to its already rich emotional palette.
With his latest release, “Sea of Evil (Good in People),” dropping on March 1, 2024, Plovver continues to explore the duality of human experience. This new single promises to delve even deeper into the complexities of human nature, combining Dierker’s signature atmospheric sound with a lyrical exploration of morality and empathy. The track’s release marks another step in Plovver’s evolving journey, showcasing Dierker’s knack for blending evocative soundscapes with poignant lyrical content.
Plovver is not just a musical project; it’s a narrative exploration of love, loss, and the enduring quest for goodness. With each release, Dierker crafts a sonic experience that invites listeners to embark on a reflective journey through his unique musical universe. As Plovver continues to evolve, fans can expect a deep and resonant exploration of the human condition, all wrapped in a sound that is as cinematic as it is intimate.
