A lot
of the times when I think about music I like to think about movies it could be
the soundtrack to, which sort of gives me this idea of when this music could
have been made and thus who could have been made by and therefore sounds
like. Plastic Flowers has a dream pop
sound that I was familiar with before this cassette release, however the songs
themselves sound perfect on tape.
When it
comes to movies, Plastic Flowers have that Pretty in Pink type of vibe going on
and, well, that was indeed a time period when cassettes still ruled the
world. Hence, this particular brand of
synth wave is ideal to be heard on its native format: cassette.
There
are two guest spots on this cassette: by
Ed Askew and Keep Shelly in Athens, both of whom you should be familiar enough
with by now to say, “Whoa, that’s just an even better reason to get this tape!”
At
times, Primitive Radio Gods can come out in these songs, but on the whole
Plastic Flowers remains in a class all their own and that class is only
exemplified by a cassette player.
