Lindsey Radice, aka PYNKIE, hails from New Jersey and forges her music career when she isn’t helping people as a full-time registered nurse. She has just released a slammin’, kaleidoscopic dream pop single with “Plz.” The high energy, dreamy indie rock cut encapsulates the cathartic cruise of a windows-down music-up joyride where your emotions simultaneously find purchase and get drowned out. Radice’s hazy vocals glide on top of and blend into a bed of fast paced layered guitar, warm strings, and metronomic drums that click by like tires slapping highway spacers. The bridge becomes a rhythmic, multicolored haze with her singing falling back before snapping the track back into place with pleasing authority. Radice is riding the wave of momentum she created with underground Soundcloud beginnings that she bridged into the lauded release of her debut album, 2018’s neoteny. “Plz” will find its home on her forthcoming album Songies which will be a dreamy pop nostalgia trip that will tie strange tales together like a cerulean and amber quilt. Here is PYNKIE talking about the new song;
“It’s about hoping and believing that a relationship will ultimately work out through the rollercoaster of ups and downs” says Radice. “The fast tempo and high energy instrumentation of the song are coupled with soft drawn-out vocal melodies, creating a combined feeling of chaos and composure. Those mixed feelings mirror the relationship at the center of the song’s theme.”
Fans of Soccer Mommy, Broken Social Scene, and Clairo should tune into this one. Check out “Plz” on Spotify and Apple Music. You can also find more from PYNKIE on their Instagram and Linktree.
