plan b is the seattle based creation of james van leuven. originally the drummer of post-punk band automaton, his solo efforts vibrantly have shared a welcomed change to the softer sides of downtempo. over the past few years, he has personally recorded and distributed his own work, presenting a collection of trip-hop based sounds mixed within the art of experimentation. stylized by instrumentals, hypnotic french female vocals, perfectly fitting samples, penetrating deep bass and rich textured beats provide an automatic movie-like soundtrack to simply everything new, foreign and surrounding.

i’m the captain, where we going? is plan b’s first full-length album that was recorded in 2006.  created over the years while touring the u.s. and europe, the album features guest musicians: singer amy blaschke, cellist brent arnold (built to spill), violinist jen kozel (elliot smith) and violinist sarah standard (carrisa’s weird).
