Soft Plastics Share Debut Album 'Saturn Return'
Signifying the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, Te Whanganui-a-Tara's Soft Plastics cast off the shackles of youth with their astrologically titled debut album Saturn Return. Recorded with production wiz James Goldsmith at The Surgery and Bay Lair, the long-awaited record sticks the landing like an Olympic gymnast nailing a double-twist backflip — bundling together student radio hits 'Disembody', 'My World / Your Girl', 'Darcie' and 'Loozer', plus five newbies rounding out the collection. Forging their own path through stormy shoegaze, toe-tapping sixties-inspired harmonies, cinematic dream-pop and wig-flipping surf-garage licks, Sophie Scott-Maunder, Jonathan Shirley and Laura Robinson spin nine sometimes brutally lovelorn tales from the wrong side of the tracks. Soft Plastics will be celebrating their crisp and confident first long player with shows all around Aotearoa — hit play on Saturn Return, order the vinyl LP edition HERE and don't miss them at the following dates...
