One of a generation of British kids, drawn without rhyme or reason, to sounds from a far away world. A world of field holler, despair, Levee camp and chain- gang moans; of Saturday night fish-fry and Juke Joint foot stomp.

A million miles lay between the brooding pulse of Mississippi Delta life and the sanitized shelter of the timid English boy, circa 1962.

And so it is, on and on down the years – Plant draws from a lifetime of adventures, tracking the dark, beautiful resonator, Plant follows his heart and lifts his voice higher and joyous ever away  – and beyond –

A voice of experience and learning from the sounds of South side Chicago Electric Blues; of Griot mantras from West Africa; from Louisiana Dance Halls; Greenwich Village Folk hangover; Haight Ashbury indulgences; Moroccan medina breakbeat; the early English radical techno materials, Texas two-step and Bristol Dubstep.

Before his recent projects in Nashville with Alison Krauss and Band of Joy, Plant worked alongside the very interesting force, “Strange Sensation”, recording the critically acclaimed, multi-Grammy nominated albums – “Dreamland” and “Mighty Rearranger”. From this platform, Sensational Space Shifters has developed. With his confederates and conspirators digging deeper with the challenging collections “Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar” and recently “Carry Fire”, more and more intense they twist and turn together, bringing the past into a brilliant technicolor present.

“I’m inspired by the fact the facilities allows young people to deal with their medical conditions in an optimistic, thoughtful environment, often separate from the general hospital scenario.” -Robert Plant
