Take 5 With Madoc Plane
Perth/Boorloo artist Madoc Plane today released his debut EP ‘Own Worst Enemy’ & taken some time to highlight artists he’s loving in his local music scene.
Following on from three previous singles, the 4-piece EP showcases Plane’s musical prowess, effortlessly dancing between genres. Ambient pop-soul and textural jazz underpin the EP that covers a variety of personal struggles- he explains: “The EP explores themes such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and overthinking. At the time of writing these songs I wasn’t my usual confident self, which I guess is displayed in the lyricism of the EP. I think that writing based on these self-critical themes was somewhat therapeutic for me, allowing me to be more honest with myself and to reflect on my experiences from a different perspective.”

Read below to learn Madoc Plane’s top 5 artists in Perth at the moment:
Supathick:
“Over the past couple years, Christian and the Supathick crew have really pushed the rnb/soul to a whole new level in the Perth music scene. With Keely’s unbelievable vocals leading them, their live set is as dynamic and polished as any other band I’ve seen and I can’t wait to see where they take things in 2023.”
Luci:
“Another Perth group driving the local rnb scene. Their style shows hints of funk, soul and pop, and their song-writing incorporates these styles in a perfectly measured way. Love what they are doing at the moment!”
Sprinter:
“Just an amazing group of people who are making some very cool music. If their upcoming music is anything like their psych-rock single, Wasteland, then I’m fooken excited.”
Nectar:
“Groove kings. These guys are so much fun to listen to and to watch perform. By incorporating sax into their tunes they add a layer of vibe that is a stand-out in the local scene. Seriously, shoutout to Perth muso’s killing it out here.”
Rein Mali:
“Keep an eye out for this neo-soul superstar. This legend is one of the most talented songwriters I’ve ever met and his yet-to-be-released original music shows off his unmatched vocal range and powerful writing style. He is about to go crazy on y’all.”
