Soft Plastics Announce 'Saturn Return' Album Release Tour
Getting all their ducks in a row ahead of the launch of their debut album Saturn Return, Te Whanganui-a-Tara's Soft Plastics have announced a five date release tour taking them all about Aotearoa this coming May and June. Lighting up studio radio airwaves with such indelible hits as 'Disembody', 'My World/Your Girl', 'Darcie' and 'Loozer', along with some of the swishest local videos we've seen in recent years, the fuzz-powered trio of Sophie Scott-Maunder, Jonathan Shirley and Laura Robinson's new record was crafted at The Surgery and Bay Lair in collaboration with James Goldsmith, finally out in the world on 31st March. They'll be warming up at this weekend's Cubadupa community extravaganza — order the vinyl LP edition of Saturn Return HERE and grip the official tour details below...

Press release:
Soft Plastics are celebrating the launch of their debut album with a nationwide tour of Aotearoa throughout May and June. Their hotly anticipated record Saturn Return is out digitally and on 12" vinyl on 31 March 2023 but has already given listeners a taste of what’s to come with their most recent singles, including sad-girl bop 'Easy to Forget', torch-song 'Disembody' and blistering break-up tune 'Darcie'.
Recorded and mixed by James Goldsmith and Surgery Studios during 2021, the Te Whanganui-a-Tara three-piece are looking forward to bring their newly minted album to a stage near you.
With the tour kicking off in May, Soft Plastics will be joined by some talented locally sourced support acts.
