Matt Taylor and long time collaborator, Elisa McCabe have turned Plastic Bubble what was a collaboration with random artists into a proper group. Taylor Wells and Tex Dynamite complete the Lexington Kentucky quartet.
The result is great Indie Pop with the mix of Taylor and McCabe's vocals enhancing the poptastic element whilst the arrangements add interesting departures. It is an EP that sounds more than a little 80s, but having said that Forever has a 60s feel at times with an arrangement that even drifts into Rock and Roll.
Anything & Everything is wonderful Psych Pop with an added Telstar keyboard run and a middle part that goes full Psych. It is like a modern take on Toytown. Recontextualise mixes UK New Wave with the Indie Pop of say Saint Etienne.
McCabe's vocal on Bright Morning is exceptional, almost Girl Group pushing against the great Indie Fuzz that is on display. When the two sing together, it gets very much like a slightly rocked up B52s. I just wish there was more as this is splendid Indie Pop.
You can listen to and buy the EP here. It is available on CD and as a download.
