Barcelona is famously known for its art and architecture, and diverse music landscape. It is here that producer & recording artist Plastic Teardrops calls home. Listening closely, it's beautiful to hear the range of complex and beautiful sounds created and mixed throughout the record. This genre defying artist ranges in feels from modern pop, synth rock, dreamy soundscapes, and downtempo chill out. Their upcoming record "Close To The Ground" is due out in early 2019, ten tracks showcasing emotive female vocals over incredibly moving soundscapes.
Right from the start, the first track "Falling Together" paints a picture of the amazing songs and moments to come on the album. A deep groove, with dark toned organs, acoustic guitar, a chill out beat with percussive elements. Vocals sit right in the pocket, reminiscent of contemporary pop singer songwriter Colbie Caillat, and pop r&b artist Lauryn Hill. She sings "I just want to know if we're gonna be falling together forever", harmonies come in and out of play as the song progresses. as synth swells take the emotional lyrics to the edges, ending with the line "do you notice how close we are to the ground?" before the second song begins. As if waking up from a dream of falling from a great height.
On album's third track, "Save The World", we are met with a dangerous exciting feel, mixing darker organ tones, rhythmic guitar and mysterious synth leads. The singer paints a picture of crushing underneath the world on her shoulders, "I know you were trying so hard, we've got to save the world", creating a sense of urgency and meaning to each lyric. The organs and synth working together to bring dynamics and create tension through the song.
Later on in the album we hear the modern melancholy love song "Without You". Lyrics going into the thought processes of missing someone you love, and emotions that come and go throughout those moments. The last line, "I am trying to live another day without you", bringing us to the last seconds, just before the organ fades out to silence.
