Heterochromia Shares Exciting New Single, “Plastic”

Eora/Sydney act Heterochromia combines elements of rock and bubblegum pop for her feel-good new single “Plastic.” It’s super cathartic, with energetic riffs, a singalong melody, and some of the most biting lyrics I’ve heard in some time. It’s all about the balance, and if your Tuesday has been anything like mine, I know it’s going to hit the spot.

“’Plastic’ laments a time in my life where I was feeling very ornamental and used by various characters in my life, which served as a catalyst for the toy motif we’ve been playing with so far,” said the woman behing Heterochromia, Bree Vane. “Plastic has a very cathartic ‘f*ck you I’m a whole person’ chorus that makes it a lot more positive, and it’s definitely the most upbeat song we’ve written. I’m really excited for people to dance to this one”

“Plastic” comes from Heterochromia’s new EP, Cracked Porcelain, which should drop later this year. They’re about the head off on the Cracked Porcelain tour, which wraps up with a hometown EP launch. Catch Heterochromia at the following venues:

Plastic Not So Plastic

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.
