Plastic Mermaids hail from the Isle of Wight, but largely reside in their own world.
The band make exuberant indie pop with an off kilter feel, their home-grown experiments recall The Beta Band’s early lysergic cuts, or even Clinic’s more melodic side. Plastic Mermaids are sharing “Beyond The Cosmos After Death”, the second taste of their upcoming EP, on Cross Keys Records.
The new single is a sprawling six-and-a-chunk-minute ode from the Isle Of Wight outfit.
Although starting sparsely, the band’s new single quickly begins bursting with spaced-out synths and layers of fragile melody as it rattles upwards into a string-led celestial behemoth. “Beyond The Cosmos...” is powerful, cinematic post-rock with dusky pop earworms and straightforward emotion – as it grows from seed to sapling to a mighty, ground-shaking heart stopper, Plastic Mermaids demonstrate their abilities across a broad spectrum of styles.
The Everything Is Yellow And Yellow Is My Least Favourite Colour EP is released via Cross Keys. It’s the final portion of an EP trilogy. Working on a trilogy of EPs, the series is set to close with this release
New cut ‘Alaska’ leads the way, and it’s a perfectly formed piece of jagged alt pop.
The softly sweet melodies interlace with a complex rhythmic chassis, a continually evolving piece of glimmery, oddly psychedelic pop music.
