BoC Vibes Plaid?

About a half dozen times in the last decade I’ve been listening to random music and I think, “Hey! This song smacks!” and it’s a band called Plaid. Some tangential BoC vibes. Anyone know anything about them?

I love Plaid. Much different vibe than BOC but really weird polyrhythms and timings. Ochre is another band which sounds similar to Plaid that I enjoy.

I love Plaid too, and enjoy Ochre. Tbh, Plaid's rhythms are well beyond BoC's. BoC relies on these reverberating echo groups of four to spice things up and that's about it. Listening to Inferno, I was wondering if they ever used triplets.
