Release Notes:
Back in the late '70s when art rock first reared its rumpled head, critical
opinion was split. "Sheer genius," raved the young guns at NME; "Bloody racket"
snorted back the older, greyer heads at Sounds, "they can't even be bothered to
write a proper tune." Which brings us neatly to the Plastic Constellations,
who've been plying neo-art punk for over a decade now. With a penchant for
juttery, stop-start rhythms and a total disregard for anything resembling a
hook, the band's strength lay in their ferocious performances, both on record
and stage. But one can only rip up the same ground for so long, and thus, after
all these years, the band now turn their pens towards the melodies. Don't worry
fans, the bash'em, smash'em set opener "Stay That Way" is proof positive that
the Plastic Constellations have lost none of their energy or their fierce need
to put a pause between every beat. They're still "burning bright with hope," and
have plenty of fire in their guts, as they proudly proclaim on "Flames and
Rain," only now they feel secure enough to toss in an anthemic chorus. "Perched
on a Porch" boasts an even stronger one, almost ludicrously and perhaps
deliberately so. "Disastrophe" is virtually singalong, "Floated Down and Flew
Around" positively poppy, while the set closing, clap-happy "So Many Friends" is
actually unplugged in places. And yet, for all the dramatic shifts in
songwriting, there's no doubt this is still a Plastic Constellations album, not
that far removed from the sonics of Crusades. It's the beginning of a whole new
chapter for the band, and an enthralling one at that. |
