Iconic alt-rock band Pluto share new ethereal psych-rock track “Maybe Twice” and announce their much-awaited 2023 New Zealand tour, playing intimate venues in destinations spanning from Matakana to Christchurch over their five-date stint.

With its psych-rock sound set against a 1970s style 12-string acoustic backdrop, “Maybe Twice” evokes the stripped-down side of music in the early 90s Sub Pop catalogue. The track is an ode to the nostalgia of the grunge era of the Pacific Northwest, perfectly capturing the spirit of the time with its fuzzy guitars and dreamy vocals.

“Maybe Twice” is a haunting song that explores Nietzsche’s theory of eternal return. Pluto’s frontman, Milan Borich explains, “The basic concept of the eternal return is that the whole history of the universe has already happened and will happen again. In Nietzsche’s view, the reaction you have to the prospect of repeating every moment of your life indicates whether you’re living your truth.

Throughout the song, vivid imagery and metaphors paint a picture that is both heavy and introspective, carried along its psychedelic sonic trajectory through harmonic vocals, orchestral instrumentation and Milan’s soothing delivery.

“Maybe Twice” is available through all streaming platforms on 6 October 2023, released by 5 Moon Entertainment and produced by long-time collaborator Nick Abbott at North-Western Studios.
