The music of L.A. duo Mad Planet represent a made change of direction for the parties involved: Greg Gordon was the drummer in the agit-punk band the Nervous Return; Cooper Gillespie sang in the pop-punk outfit Bang Sugar Bang. Now they’re exploring jazz- and soul-flavored electro, and their sultry stylings have more in common with Portishead than anything punk or pop. It’s new territory for them, but probably not for you; still, it’s nice to give those noisy guitars a rest.
