“Elements of shoegaze permeate their songwriting, with ‘Resign’ rushing headlong into unexplored spaces. – CLASH

Following the success of newly released single ‘Resign’, rising gaze-pop group PLANET have shared the clip to the euphoric track, which premiered on UK tastemaker site Clash Magazine.
The song’s video was filmed just a few blocks from lead singer Matty Took’s home in Sydney, as options were limited due to lockdown restrictions. Ultimately though, the simple honesty of the video’s single shot is an effective mirror to the candour of the song’s lyrics, as well as reflecting the sunny feel of the music.
‘Resign’ opens with a dynamic wall of lush guitar chords and searing licks over a punchy, driving rhythm section. Compelling alt-pop vocal hooks push the track forward towards the heartfelt, anthemic release of its chorus: “I’m breaking at the seams // Life was always short”. Lyrically, the song offers a deft counterpoint to the summery pop of the music in its powerful articulation of the crushing moments of self-doubt that can be experienced in a relationship.

Written & recorded entirely in lockdown, the band worked with Grammy Award winning producer Adrian Bushby (Muse, New Order, Placebo, U2, Foo Fighters), as well as long-time collaborator Lachlan Mitchell.
Since their debut in 2017, Sydney band PLANET – Took, Peppitt, plus drummer Harry Stewart-Weeks and bassist Jimmy Weaver – have built a growing and dedicated fanbase with a series of singles, EPs, and international tours alongside the likes of Liam Gallagher. The band have clocked up more than 2 million streams on Spotify alone, as well as attracting coverage from the likes of Rolling Stone AUS, NME, Pilerats & Life Without Andy – all without having yet released an album.
The undeniable hook-craft and universal relatability of ‘Resign’ look set to make it a massive song for the rest of the summer, and to make 2021 the year PLANET cross over from underground buzz into mainstream acclaim.
