London alt-indie band Plastic Barricades left us stuck on constant repeat with their latest release, “Lucid in the fall,” upon hearing it for the first time we knew it was something special, and we needed to share it with you.
The vocalist has one of the richest and most powerful voices we’ve ever heard, and his performance on this record is on another level. The production of this song is polished and the lyrics are original, well-written and mesh perfectly with the vocal melodies. The instruments are incredible, the atmosphere is unique, and the energy of this song is beautiful. The production skills are impressive and the vocal mixing is excellent. This band’s music is different and set them apart from the crowd. We love their songs and can’t wait to see where their career will go over the coming months. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to follow Plastic Barricades online to stay up to date!
ABOUT THE BAND:
Hey you, the curious and the lonesome! You are probably on a quest for a “once upon a time…” kind of story, where the struggling musicians discover their true genius at the very bottom and then become spoiled with attention, start acting like “rock-stars”, sell their souls to the Devil and ruin some lives along the way, but then find forgiveness and peace in the art itself, settling for a quiet and a bit reclusive life on a farm in the south of somewhere.
Well, all that did happen, but it will take a long while to describe on a random website in the vast ocean of the Internet. Besides, I am sure you’ve heard it all before. So how about instead we will just explain what Plastic Barricades are for.
Ever felt truly alone in your personal quest for meaning? Lonesome in a big crowd of cheerful friends? Never truly fitting in the online world of instant gratification and permanent records? Awkward in front of a camera or on a dance floor? Daydreaming in that beautiful world of literature and art? Experiencing strong feelings when listening to music? Feeling truly sorry for the cruelty of the world and looking for ways to make it a bit better?
If you have answered “yes” to at least some of these – congratulations, you are in the right place.
We believe that any art form can have truly transformative powers and soothe a wounded soul. The world today needs empathy more than ever – and art helps with that. Humankind has suffered enough. The Planet has suffered enough. In the times when we are all connected we somehow feel even more alone. This can change if we embrace our differences and celebrate our kindness, open our hearts to change and fight our fears for the sake of reinventing ourselves.
We play music because we just cannot stop feeling things that need expressing – and making noises through speakers is the only way we’ve learnt. This is how we look for answers to the difficult questions and find some peace in the turbulent times.
Let’s feel things together – and let’s be better together!
