Unessential Oils is Warren Spicer (Plants and Animals’ singer-songwriter) new solo project. Inspired by jazz, folk, Tropicália, Jorge Ben, Daniel Lanois, and Miles Davis, the music came to be while Warren was soaking in the bath. Open and flexible, it is in the spirit of Alabaster DePlume, Connan Mockasin, Hermanos Gutiérrez and Devendra Banhart. Spicer is also a seasoned record producer, who has been awarded at the Gala de l’ADISQ. He has notably produced albums with Plants and Animals, La Force, Comment debord, Chocolat, Ludovic Alarie, and Emilie Kahn, to name a few. Unessential Oils opened for Alabaster DePlume and Bye Parula last fall. Past press coverage for Plants and Animals include Pitchfork, Stereogum, Under the Radar, Exclaim!, Spin, CBC Music, CBC ‘q’, Paste Magazine, Les Inrocks, Rolling Stone France, Le Monde Télérama, La Presse, ICI Musique and many more, and nominations for ADISQ, JUNO Awards, Polaris Music Prize and more.
