Plastic - Cut "So Numb" Straight to 2 inch Analog Tape



I'm really enjoying So Numb a new song by Melbourne band Plastic made up of local act Five Mile Town. The recordings from the Nightmare E.P all sound super phat, lush and punchy like a warm tropical island transporting you away to a different world. The record was most likely recorded straight to 2 inch analog tape like all of the greatest records of the 60's and 70's. There's certainly no sharp digital crunch on this record all the sonic edges are smooth and well rounded.

Plastic's playing throughout the whole record is focused delivering back to back great performances. The lyrics float along offering catchy hooks and vivid imagery while also managing to draw in the listener connecting on a strong emotional level. Stephen Mowat working out of Aviary Studios in Melbourne has done a brilliant job recording, mixing and producing this record as it sounds very professional and smooth like a good whiskey! :) Stream the song above and sit back and relax :)

These dudes album "Yardboat" is really unique and trippy. This performance of theirs wouldn't be a miss at Woodstock awash with the vibes that go with a concert of such epic proportions. 
I really like the songs "Magnetoception" and "Fountains of Gold" there names alone are brilliant.

They have subtle influences of the Doors and bands of that era. It seems to me the more you think about these guys the better they are. The drummers ghost name game is on point. The long hair is
kick-ass. Also the background vocals remind me of the Klaxons monster hit but instead of limited to one song they span the whole album "Yardboat". You can stream it on Spotiy.

 You'd be a fool to say these guys don't have some magic. The potential for them to make a super tripped out hit is very high in my opinion. It would be cool if Eric Clapton did a guitar solo on their next album. Hints of Creme springs to mind and those dudes are legends. Their album "Yardboat" is very nice to listen to the production is intense. I'd love to know who recorded it. All and all a great new band. The riffing on the intro of "Country Moon" is sublime.

New Video: Mas Ysa - "Why" - (Ice Hockey indie music video)


Residing in Brooklyn, NY Mas Ysa has delivered up stunner called "Why". The tune has been doing really well on top music blogs around the world. I really like the visuals and theme in his video. It reminds me off all my friends that like to train hard in sport. One of my friends is also a top ice hockey player who represented New Zealand and I think he will really like it.

My other friend James is an avid Lacrosse player and I think he will dig it. It's really great to see an indie video with sports in it. Maybe if there were more videos likes this we'd actually get out more and play sport :)

Highlights of this track: Singing Performance
                                      Drum machines
