Planet Chernobyl. Poem, libretto, opera. There's more than one Planet Chernobyl. You'll find that here, in the words of poet Charles Plymell, the vision of bassist Mike Watt and the orchestrations of singer/composer Petra Haden. Plymell's poetry chronicles the horrific Chernobyl disaster of 1986. Stirred by this work, Watt and Haden were inspired to put the words to music with their newly formed project, Pelicanman. The release features stunning cover artwork by Tanya Haden.
