Plastic Picnic – “Berkeley”

August 9, 2017

The Brooklyn transplants in Plastic Picnic serve up their best cinematic indie rock with their single “Berkeley.” This track is at the forefront of the band’s debut EP, set for release this fall. Combining soaring 80’s guitar lines, dreamy falsetto, and some soulful gusto, “Berkeley” comes across as equal parts moving and soothing. Formed from two Seattle duos who met up in the Empire state, the four-piece fit together like a perfectly cohesive puzzle, bonding over a love of stirring lyricism, soundscaping guitars, and analog synth. Find more from Plastic Picnic here, and keep an eye out for their upcoming EP in the coming months.

Plastic Picnic – “Nausea In Paradise”

June 6, 2016

Plastic Picnic really pulled out all the stops on this one. The Brooklyn-based band is actually a group of Seattle transplants, which explains a lot about their sound. On their new single, “Nausea in Paradise,” the band brought in Producer/Engineer Ted  Young (Sonic Youth, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Kurt Vile) to record. The result is an explosion of shimmering, 80’s influenced indie-punk. The song ends in an explosion of reverb and melody along the lines of The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Wild Nothing, or Yuck. “Nausea In Paradise” is currently available for purchase on iTunes.
