Artist description "I always see music making as comparable to building a house. You know it is complete when you can walk in the door and go into each room. I tend to reside in the kitchen! Surveys have found that this is the place where people are most likely to do Spastic Dancing."

Artist History People Like Us is the creation of British composer and DJ Vicki Bennett, who to date has released 6 full-length recordings on CD and LP in the U.S. and Europe, as well as several collaborative releases and numerous compilation tracks. PLU's collaborators both in the studio and in concert have included Negativland, The Jet Black Hair People, Sniper, Mr. Rotorvator, Barbed, MusikTerrorist, and more. Her newest full-length release, "The Thermos Explorer", will be issued by UK label Hot Air in October.

Group Members "The dialogue between formal harmonic shifts and documentary atmospheres is just right. The music sucks and blows and breathes like a living thing seen through half-closed eyelids... The bravura with which People Like Us combine their materials is deft... A low-key, rain-specked masterpiece." -- Ben Watson in The Wire"I wonder why it's taken a decade for anyone in the UK to take up the mantle of Negativland and John Oswald? This is art with a sense of humour." -- I-D Magazine"A cut and paste rampage... dog gone fantastic!" -- Ben Willmott in The NME"For all the lessons of ironists, Dadaists and Postmodernists, only a select few seem willing to value laughs. People Like Us value them in spadefuls. Beware the Whim Reaper is a sampler's and scanner's Eldorado, with all manner of pop cultural sources plundered for effect: Radio shows and kitsch 60's Easy Listening, found sounds, overheard conversations, all subjected to a malicious clown's fiendish tinkering and manipulation of texture and tempo... Wild but wonderful." -- Paul Stump in The Wire
