Incommunicado - Conrad Plymouth

Hailing from the sleepy plains of Rochester, MN, Conrad Plymouth currently resides in Milwaukee by way of Eau Claire, WI.

While living in Eau Claire, he played a supporting role in bands with the inimitable Josh Scott, the unstoppable Justin Vernon and the hirsute jamshackle folkers Megafaun. When these giants of craft and friendship headed for new territories, Plymouth began to look for his own voice.

The quest for said voice has been a continuing revelation. In the years since relocating to Milwaukee, Conrad Plymouth has borne and killed many songs, found and lost many musicians, and followed a musical wanderlust where ever it leads. His music is seeped in perceived Midwestern ideals: a self-defeating sensibility, a deep isolation, and a reckoning of past and future. The son of a farmer in another life, Conrad Plymouth believes that authentic things happen organically, on their own time, and that as long as you put in the requisite work, the harvest will follow.

Conrad Plymouth has been compared to Jeff Tweedy, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Nick Drake, Paul Simon, Mark Kozelek and a host of other people whose wastebaskets he is unworthy to root through. Aesthetic and artistic shortcomings aside, the comparisons hold water in this regard: when it is all said and done, Conrad Plymouth shares the same deep commitment to songcraft that will ultimately be reflected in a divergent, yet consistent, body of work.
