NEW SINGLE! PROMO: Electro-rockers Plastique return with ‘Lips’

Plastique return with defiant electro-rock single ‘Lips’

set for release 13 November | launch show on 14 November

“Plastique prove themselves to be the band Garbage wanted to be” –
Whisperin’ and Hollerin’

Earlier this year, “impossible to pigeonhole” (Aaron Philips, Amazing Radio) electro-rock trio Plastique returned from a brief hiatus and released single ‘Quake’ to the world to rave reviews. Now, the London-Brazilian outfit once again are here to defy your ears with new track ‘Lips’.

Stop what you’re doing this freaking instant: Plastique’s absolutely essential heavy rock fusion demands your attention.

‘Lips’ sees frontwoman Anelise Kunz maximizing her vocal flair further than Plastique’s previous releases: Garbage-infused lows, soaring highs and attitude-brimming screeches flirt with visceral and heady layers.

Anelise’s vocal take took place over a demo with which Plastique were experimenting during the ‘Quake’ recording. Trying new ideas for a heavier dance-punk oriented direction with ‘Quake’, the trio decided to pursue this sound further following its reception. The vocals for ‘Lips’ were revisited, and both Fabio’s guitars and Gabriel’s production on the song became heavier than anticipated to match Anelise’s level of aggression on the take.

The incredibly satisfying result cries to be performed live – Plastique will be debuting ‘Lips’ at London’s The Islington on 14 November.

About Plastique:
Plastique formed in 2010 to bring their own flavor of attitude and charisma to an increasingly diluted and lacklustre indie scene. Comprised of singer Anelise Kunz, multi-instrumentalist Fabio Couto and producer Gabriel Ralls, Plastique are inspired by a huge scope of influences including Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, PJ Harvey, Goldfrapp, Brody Dalle, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Prodigy.

Their self-titled debut album was released worldwide in 2011, with 2013’s follow-up record ‘#SocialScar’ seeing their electro-rock aggressive sound highlighted by multi-Grammy winning Tom Baker’s production. It also saw them crowned one of Marshall’s top 5 ultimate bands of 2013.

In early 2015, single ‘Quake’ was an electrifying declaration of intent, a proclamation referencing the band’s previous work but absolutely against so much of an industry requirement of sticking to a style or genre. Plastique’s work, although underpinned with the same rebellious punch, always delivers something fresh and new.
