Touchtheplants stands in solidarity with Black Lives everywhere

Touchtheplants Presents: BIG LUNCH

Visual artist Rob Moss Wilson reads his poems for us, while accompanied by an original soundtrack from electronic musician Cool Maritime.

A union of spoken-word and ambient soundscapes that weds Cool Maritime’s bubbly, revitalizing synth work to Wilson’s emotionally honest, casually profound observations.

Big Lunch feels like a hike in the company of a wise and humorous friend who has special access to his own heart and mind, the contents of which he is able to spin into everyday proverbs as we wind up the path by his side.

Realized as a limited-run audio-visual box set with cassette and book.
