Emerging from the ashes of Liverpool-based post-punk eccentrics A Better Mousetrap and Warringtonian Art Rock band After The Stranger, Plenty formed in 1986 and was Tim Bowness’s immediate pre-no-man band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDistinctively echoing then contemporary artists such as The Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout - alongside the iconic likes of David Bowie and Peter Gabriel - Plenty’s music alternated between electro-pop anthems, poignant ballads and ambient experiments and was unheard at the time beyond two North West performances and a handful of plays on local radio stations such as Piccadilly Radio, BBC GMR, BBC Radio Merseyside and Radio City..\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween Spring 2016 and Summer 2017, founder members Tim Bowness, Brian Hulse and David K. Jones re-recorded Plenty’s catalogue of 1980s songs and set about completing the album the band had hoped to release three decades previously. Whilst re-writing some lyrics and streamlining elements of the songs’ arrangements, the band remained faithful to both the spirit of the original recordings and the era in which the songs were written.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShowcasing the origins of styles that subsequently\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebecame Bowness and no-man trademarks,\u003cem\u003e It Could Be Home\u003c\/em\u003e also reveals different sides to Bowness’s vocals, as Jones’s powerful bass playing and Hulse’s inventive guitar parts and pulsating electronics push Bowness into territories he’s rarely explored since the 1980s.
