Plume Varia

Plume Varia is the dreampop/indie-pop project of husband and wife, Shon and Cherie Cobbs. Denver transplants originally from Minneapolis, Cherie and Shon are most comfortable when submerged within a great local music scene. Experienced musicians, writers and performers; they created this project as a way to merge together their deep and independent musical roots in a way that artistically represents both of their individual styles. Plume Varia's music is the balance of lonesome lilting melody and the promise of assured forward motion. Cherie's alluring and imaginative songwriting married with Shon's pull to darker, brooding production creates a dense, refined and consuming sound. They have drawn comparisons to acts such as Beach House, The XX, Lana Del Ray, Portishead and Wye Oak. Plume Varia had an impressive year in 2014, opening for national acts such as She Keeps Bees, Jolie Holland and Rogue Valley as well as being named by CBS 4 as one of the top 5 up and coming Denver bands, being nominated for a Westword Music Award and earning glowing reviews nationally, internationally and of course locally including a ‘Critic’s Choice’ feature in our own Denver Westword.

"...applied with a deeply demurred torch trimming upon a divinely spectral neo classical underpinning...an astral love note traced in the most alluring nocturnal noir soul motifs, a lunar apparition buoyed on the merest of vapour trailed whispers, in short perfection." - The Sunday Experience, Liverpool UK - 12/2013 http://marklosingtoday.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/plume-varia

"Upon first listening to Plume Varia, I was stunned. I found myself completely immersed in the music, it was like being incased in a title wave of emotion; and I didn't want to be set free from it. One listen to Plume Varia and you'll mind will be wondering through the dark atmosphere with the stars. Plume Varia has an intensity in which I haven't heard in a very long time." - Sparrow Music Blog, US - 12/2013 http://sparrowwren.weebly.com/1/post/2013/12/plume-varia.html

"Totally carried away by the midnight, thrilling piano pop that this Denver duo has crafted. Prize is a haunting piece of melancholy pop with Cherrie’s deep, alluring voice controlling a lost in the woods experience with the red riding hood to switch between Lana Del Rey and Cat Power. Remember this name: Plume Varia!" - Sound Injections - 03/2013 - http://soundinjections.tumblr.com/post/46608545004/plume-varia-prize-totally-carried-away-by-the
