Local rock band Plum, comprised of Kyle Miller (guitar and vocals), Jake Supple (bass and vocals) and Ty Baron (guitar and vocals) has been up to a lot—the band opened for Charles Bradley at the Bluebird Theater, played a successful set at the Underground Music Showcase earlier this year and have made a name for themselves in the local scene. Throughout all of this, Plum has been in the studio, and the band has some exciting things to say about their upcoming plans.

You have an EP coming out. When is it coming out, what’s it called and what will it be like?

Baron: It’ll be online. The Monday before…

Miller: Dec 11. It’s called “Light Years, Dark Years.” Five songs. We’re pressing into CD, possibly a 10 inch. It’s a follow up.

B: It touches on some new stuff.

M: It’s definitely the same band.

What is your songwriting process like?

B: The three of us all write songs. Sometimes someone will have a small idea and we’ll all work it out together, or one person will have a fully formed song. It comes differently depending on who wrote the song and how much of it they have done before.

Supple: It was pretty meticulous.

B: We have the tendency to finish songs, pick them apart, and finish them again.

Denver has a huge psych rock scene. How has that affected Plum musically?

S: It’s made us not want to do psych rock. I don’t want to be pretentious or anything, but we want to do rock and roll. Just because the ’60s were psychedelic to so many people doesn’t mean our influence from that generation is psychedelic

. . . It’s hard for us to put a label on our genre. It is psychedelic rock, but it’s not psych rock that people think of.

Is there anything else you want to say about the EP or other upcoming plans?

S: I heard the mixes, and I’m really excited. The artwork I’m excited about . . . It sounds different from our first three singles, production wise, but it’s an expansion.

B: We made it an interesting set of songs from start to finish.
