Planet 81 is the main recording project of Phoenix, Arizona-based songwriter and producer Justin Cohn.
Escape!! …to Planet 81, the project's 2024 full-length debut, combines a “throwback ’80s vibe and hook-abundant charm” (Obscure Sound) indebted to the rock music vanguard of its namesake year, 1981 (i.e. Daryl Hall & John Oates, The Cars, and Prince). More than retro pastiche, Escape!! is 21st-century indie pop created from a quasi-analog workflow, using only tools that would have been employed by early home studio recorders. The result is timeless: “music with a backbone one can still dance to” (Rosy Overdrive).
