Miami Horror

Miami Horror, led by Australian-born, LA-based producer Benjamin Plant, is returning with a poignant new album after a nine-year hiatus. The upcoming record is a deeply personal exploration of childhood, growing up, and the universe’s interconnectedness. Inspired by Plant’s lifelong fascination with the cosmos, the album delves into existential themes and the human condition.Collaborating with a range of Australian and international artists, Plant embarked on this introspective journey in 2020. The album’s melancholic mood reflects Plant’s contemplation on life and his rediscovery of the piano. Drawing inspiration from a visit to his hometown in Melbourne, the music captures a sense of childlike wonder and the innocence of youth.Since their breakout with their debut record, Illumination, Miami Horror has navigated the evolving music industry landscape, exploring and evolving their sound. They’ve generated a staggering 200 million-plus combined streams with a catalog highlighted by anthems such as “Leila,” “I Look To You (feat. Kimbra),” “Real Slow (feat. Sarah Chernoff),” and standout singles from the debut album “Holidays (feat. Alan Paloma)” and “Sometimes.” They’ve garnered acclaim from Billboard, NPR Music, Forbes, MTV, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and many others while gracing the stages of festivals such as Coachella, Governors Ball, Electric Forest, Splendour in the Grass, Beyond the Valley, Just Like Heaven, Funka Fest in Ecuador, and Corona Capital Festival in Mexico.Miami Horror’s latest work marks a return to artistic freedom. Plant, embracing modern sampling techniques, incorporates disco, soul influences, and even movie snippets to create a cohesive narrative experience. This album transcends individual tracks, offering a sonic odyssey that reflects on the human experience and the enduring power of music to connect us all.
