Austin Brown shared about “Plant Life”:

’Plant Life’ the song is my story of rediscovering my passion for music through New York City dance floors… It’s a distillation from a 40 plus minute improvisation prompted by producer Rodaidh McDonald, and every way we’ve sliced it up illustrates a different mood of the same perspective of ecstasy and aspiration to not only grow, but form roots outside of our own barriers.
