I must admit that I got nervous when I received a single stream from a band called Plastic. That work suggests this Melbourne band is creating the worst of music, that which is disposable and lacking in substance. However thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth.
The lyrics of “So Numb” are what I’ve really sunk my teeth into. The melody’s lovely and the vocals solid, but it’s those words that have really gotten underneath my skin. Make sure you listen to them.
“So Numb” comes from Plastic’s EP Nightmares, which is available now as a pay-what-you-want download from their Bandcamp page. Plastic will launch the single at Melbourne’s Gasometer Hotel on September 18.
